Construction of Phase 2 of Cross Island Line begins
Construction has officially begun for Phase 2 of the Cross Island Line. Environmental impact assessments conducted in two phases were carried out, leading to changes such as fewer boreholes, to reduce impact. The new stretch will run across the western part of the island and is expected to ease commutes for about 40,000 households when completed by 2032. Kate Low with this report.
Editor's Note: At 1:13, Mr. Tony O’Dempsey from the Nature Society Singapore said soil investigation in the forest was a key concern. CNA clarifies this was addressed by shifting the alignment to an existing road, avoiding forest entry and protecting all trees.
