The Land Transport Authority (LTA) first announced a series of network extensions and new stations on existing lines on May 2019. Thus far, we have seen the Cross Island Line 2 (CRL2) announced in September 2022, and NS3A Brickland Station announced in July 2023. We are expecting that LTA will be gearing up to announce another extension soon. The timing is ripe for an announcement of the extension, in view of recent contracts under the Downtown Line (DTL)'s contract number series being released for tender.

  • Contract 9177 - Building demolition, pile removal, utility diversion & its associated works
  • Contract 91771 - Appointment of Qualified Person (Supervision) services for Contract 9177

Greetings! We're glad to state that the Downtown Line (DTL) Construction blog is back! Since the completion of the line as first envisioned, several additions & extensions have been proposed, discussed and brought to life. Current projects in progress for the line consist of fitting out the DT4 station and extending the eastern end by 2.2km with 2 stations. We'll take a look at the progress made through October 2024 to commemorate the blog's comeback after 8 years!
