|The Straits Times
Construction work to start later in 2024 under second phase of Cross Island Line
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded a civil contract of about $530 million for the design and construction of Turf City MRT station in Bukit Timah in the second phase of the Cross Island Line (CRL).
The contract was awarded to a joint venture between Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) and Obayashi Corp, said LTA in a statement on May 27.
Construction on the underground station, which will be located in Turf Club Road, will start in the third quarter of 2024, with passenger service set to begin in 2032.
When the station is ready, commuting between Turf City and Pasir Ris Central will take only 35 minutes on the CRL, instead of a one-hour journey through the Downtown and East-West lines.
Travelling to Jurong Lake District from Turf City will take 20 minutes, instead of 40 minutes via a bus ride and an MRT journey on the East-West Line.
LTA has said the joint venture and the two companies individually have established records in local rail projects.
The joint venture was previously awarded the contract for the bored tunnel between Fairways Drive and Sin Ming Walk under CRL Phase 2 in December 2022.
