Singapore's seventh MRT line is slated to open in three stages from 2027 to 2029.
Slated to open in three stages from 2027 to 2029, Singapore’s seventh MRT line is projected to have its daily ridership grow from 200,000 in the initial years to more than 500,000 along with the development of the Jurong Innovation District, Tengah Town and Jurong Lake District, said the Land Transport Authority .
Commuters travelling to the western part of Singapore will enjoy shorter journey times, said the LTA, citing how the JRL will shave 25 minutes off the current one-hour journey from Choa Chu Kang MRT station to Nanyang Technological University’s Lee Wee Nam Library via bus and train. In a speech at the event, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said building the line “through such a densely developed corridor poses stiff challenges”.
Some parts of the viaduct will be close to existing buildings, like Housing Board blocks – within 10m to 15m, Mr Iswaran said.
