LTA announces adjustments in preparation for CCL6 opening

LTA has announced that its Circle Line (CCL) tunnel strengthening works will be completed one week ahead of schedule, on 10 April 2026.

Following this, LTA and SMRT will proceed with the final phase of testing and commissioning works to integrate the CCL6 systems with the existing CCL network.

During this period, shuttle bus services will be provided from 05:00am to 09:00am on Sundays

To facilitate this procedure, train services for the entire CCL will end earlier on Saturday nights at 11:00pm and commence later on Sunday mornings at 09:00am. This will take place from 11 April to 17 May 2026.

During this period, LTA will provide two shuttle bus services from 05:00am to 09:00am on Sundays. Commuters will pay the same fares for the shuttle buses as they would for train travel. Shuttle 36 will operate between HarbourFront and Bishan stations at intervals of 7-10 minutes, while Shuttle 37 will operate between Bishan and Promenade stations, at intervals of 3-5 minutes.

Commuters may experience up to an additional 30 minutes of travel time during the service adjustments, and are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider alternative routes via other MRT lines and bus services.
