#GoodNews Westies! We’ve just awarded the contract to operate the Jurong Region Line (#JRL) to the joint venture between SBS Transit Rail and RATP Dev Asia Pacific, a subsidiary of the French public transport operator, RATP Dev.

SBST Transit Rail and RATP Dev Asia Pacific will operate the line for 9 years, with an option to extend another 2 years. During this time, they have committed to use the experience of RATP Dev to build local capabilities in rail operations and maintenance.

JRL, our 7th MRT line, will open in phases from 2027. It’ll enhance connectivity in western Singapore, including NTU, Jurong Industrial Estate, and Jurong Innovation District.

The operator for CRL will be selected at a later stage.

🏗️ Peek behind the scenes of Singapore's North-South Corridor construction (NSC)!

Connecting the north and the city through densely built-up areas, the #NSC is one of our most complex road projects. #DoYouKnow it will comprise the longest viaduct (8.8km) and road tunnel (12.3km) in Singapore?

While residents may experience inconvenience during construction, #RestAssured we're working hard to minimise disruptions. Where feasible, we're deploying innovative technologies to improve construction efficiency.

🎥 Watch to discover how we're boosting pre-cast production for the viaduct!

Here’s a peek into the ongoing construction of the East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID), our unique Four-In-One-Depot, that integrates three train depots and one bus depot within a single site! The ECID will strengthen the resilience of our rail network by allowing us to launch and withdraw trains more efficiently, giving us greater ability to adjust service patterns as needed. 🟢🟤🔵

#DoYouKnow we have completed ~98% of structural and architectural works and incorporated numerous innovative features to make the development more sustainable?🌱.

📢 In the next phase of construction, we’ll progressively lay new train tracks to connect the #EWL to #ECID.

🚉 As part of this, #EWL train services will be temporarily adjusted at Tanah Merah, Simei, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Expo, and Changi Airport stations from 7 to 10 Dec 2024.

🗓️ During this period, there will be no train service at Simei, and between Tanah Merah and Tampines stations.
