SINGAPORE — Construction of Phase 1 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) — Singapore’s eighth MRT line — began on Wednesday (Jan 18).
The interchanges for Phase 1 and 2 will be at Pasir Ris and Clementi on the East-West Line, Hougang on the North-East Line, Ang Mo Kio on the North-South Line, Bright Hill on the Thomson-East Coast Line, and King Albert Park on the Downtown Line.Expected to be completed by 2030, Phase 1 of the CRL will comprise 12 stations: Aviation Park, Loyang, Pasir Ris East, Pasir Ris, Tampines North, Defu, Hougang, Serangoon North, Tavistock, Ang Mo Kio, Teck Ghee and Bright Hill.
The commencement of its construction comes just a week after construction of the Jurong Region Line began, putting Singapore on track to expand its rail network by 100km in the next decade.When the CRL is fully operational, many Singapore residents will benefit from shorter and faster journeys, with eight in 10 households within a 10-minute walk of a train station, said Mr Iswaran.
“When the TPC is fully completed in 2029, residents in Sin Ming area will have more travel options to get to Bright Hill MRT station and recreational spaces such as Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.” As such, while the CRL will operate with six-car trains initially, provisions have been made to accommodate eight-car trains to cater to higher demand in the future. That is more train cars than any other MRT line uses, Mr Iswaran added.As the CRL traverses the entirety of the island, construction will “test the professional mettle of our engineers and all our partners”, noted Mr Iswaran.
LTA and its partners have therefore deployed various technologies to enhance construction efficiency and safety. The Pasir Ris CRL station will hold the new record for the deepest station in Singapore, at 47m underground. LTA is progressively calling tenders for CRL Phase 2 which comprises six stations from Turf City to Jurong Lake District, while engineering studies are ongoing for the third phase, it said.While new and longer rail lines will boost the resilience of Singapore’s MRT network, it is also important to maintain, renew and rejuvenate existing MRT lines, starting with the North-South, East-West and North-East lines, added Mr Iswaran.
