Decision on Cross-Island Line may take another two years, says Khaw
Singapore
THE 50-km Cross Island Line (CRL) will be a key boost to "network resilience" for Singapore's railway system; it will have 30 stations - nearly half of them interchanges - and enable 600,000 trips to be made daily, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan told Parliament on Monday.
But it may take another two years to complete the environment and technical studies and to carry out public consultations before the government decides on the exact alignment of the CRL, which will run from the east to the west of the island, serving residential areas such as Loyang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Sin Ming, Bukit Timah, Clementi and West Coast.
