Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link project marks progress with connecting span completion

The connecting span is 17.1 metres long.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link Project saw major progress following the completion of its 17.1-metre-long connecting span,

The connecting span connects the marine viaduct between Singapore and Malaysia and is between the former’s Pier 48 and the latter’s Pier 47.

The construction of the 340-tonne connecting span involved the erection of temporary support structures between Pier 47 and Pier 48, at a height of more than 26 metres above sea level.

Following the connecting span’s construction, Malaysia and Singapore will continue works on the civil structures of the RTS Link, which will connect Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru to Woodlands North in Singapore.

With a peak capacity of up to 10,000 passengers per hour per direction, the RTS Link will facilitate the commute between Singapore and Johor Bahru. 

The RTS Link will commence passenger service by December 2026.

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.
