Construction works has begun on six MRT stations under the second phase of the Cross Island Line (CRL), with completion targeted by 2032.Six underground stations will be built over a distance of 15km, including two interchanges at the current King Albert Park and Clementi MRT stations which will connect commuters to the Downtown Line and East-West Line respectively.The working names of the other four stations are Turf City, Maju, West Coast and Jurong Lake District. Works on the 15 stations under CRL phase 1 and the Punggol Extension are currently ongoing too.At the CRL phase 2 ground-breaking ceremony on Monday (July 7), Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow termed the line as an «outer ring» connecting to existing rail networks as well as the future Jurong Region Line.With eight of the 21 announced stations on the CRL to be built as interchange stations, commuters will have more route options, which Siow said will help «better absorb the impact of service disruptions». He noted that this line will also open new windows for maintenance to be done, where such works may have to be scheduled during the day «at some point» in the future. Read more
