Two stations under CRL2 will be interchanges, with King Albert Park connecting the Downtown Line (DTL) and Clementi to the East-West Line (EWL). “With the improved connectivity, CRL2 will shorten travel times for commuters travelling to and from the western parts of Singapore,” said the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Construction works for CRL2 will begin next year, with the stations slated for opening by 2032. Cross Island Line will redistribute commuter load across the train network Transport Minister S Iswaran speaking at the under-construction East Coast Integrated Depot on Tuesday (Sep 20).

(Image: LTA) When the CRL is fully completed, it will be the country’s longest fully underground MRT line, serving existing and future developments in the eastern, northeastern and western corridors. LTA said this will help to achieve its target of having 8 in 10 homes within a 10-minute walk to a train station.
