Construction of first phase of CRL line starts: LTA

The underground train line will serve daily ridership of more than 600,000.

The construction of the first phase of the 50-kilometre Cross Island Line (CRL), the longest and eighth line, begins and will be completed by 2030, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) revealed.

In a statement, LTA said the first phase will include 12 stations which will serve Loyang, Hougang, and Ang Mo Kio.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
