It's hard to believe, as it only feels like yesterday that the line opened, but the Downtown Line (DTL) has been around for 13 years this December. 13 years on and the line is being extended at both ends, adding a further 6.2km to the 40km-long line. As one extension project reaches the finish line, another begins the arduous process. We check in at both projects to see how progress is going - details after the jump.
