Singapore-Johor RTS Link: Second civil contract for viaduct and tunnels awarded

Singapore

THE second civil contract for the construction of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link was awarded on Friday, a week after Singapore broke ground on the cross-border rail shuttle service connecting the island with Malaysia.

The S$180 million contract covering the construction of a 25-metre-tall viaduct spanning the Strait of Johor and connecting rail tunnels was given to China Communications Construction Company (Singapore Branch), which is currently constructing the Boon Lay station on the Jurong Region Line, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said.
