80 percent of Singapore’s population will live within a 10-minute walk of an MRT station by 2030.
Two new MRT Lines were unveiled today - the Cross Island Line (CRL) and the Jurong Region Line (JRL) - in addition to the extension of three existing lines that will increase the rail network stretch to 360 km, compared to the current 178 km.
These plans were announced by Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew following a review of the Land Transport Master Plan by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
The 50 km CRL is expected to be completed by 2030 and will connect to all existing lines, running from Jurong Industrial Estate through areas like West Coast, Bukit Timah, Ang Mo Kio, Punggol and Pasir Ris before ending in Changi.
The JRL will likely be completed by 2025. The 20 km line will span areas such as Jurong West, Jurong Industrial District, West Coast, Choa Chu Kang and Tengah.
At the same time, three existing lines - the Circle Line, Downtown Line and North-East Line - will be extended with additional plans for a new station between Sembawang and Yishun on the North-South Line (NSL) to serve new developments in the area.
Meanwhile,
PropertyGuru's Senior Editor Romesh Navaratnarajah expects property prices within walking distance of the two new lines to rise, especially in areas that are underserved by transport links.
