Expect crowds, longer travel times during Nov 29 to Dec 8 closure of Simei, Tanah Merah stations
The Straits Times
|November 23, 2025
Those who travel regularly on the East-West Line (EWL) are advised to factor in crowds and added journey time with the upcoming closure of Simei and Tanah Merah MRT stations.
In a reminder on Nov 22, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the closures from Nov 29 to Dec 8 mean there will be no train service between Bedok and Tampines stations, and between Tanah Merah and Expo stations.
Affected MRT stations and bus stops are expected to be crowded, and journey times may take up to an additional 30 minutes.
LTA had in October said that the move is to allow works to connect the tracks from the existing EWL to the East Coast Integrated Depot and to connect a new platform at Tanah Merah station. An estimated 180,000 passengers could be affected daily over the 10 days of service adjustments, LTA said then.
