08 Jan 2025|95 views
LTA has announced that three new stations from the new Downtown Line 2 extension (DTL2e) will connect the Downtown Line (DTL) from its existing terminus at Bukit Panjang station to a new NS6/DE2 interchange station on the North-South Line (NSL).
The new terminus for the DTL will be an underground interchange station (DE2) connected to a new aboveground NSL station (NS6) between Yew Tee and Kranji stations. This is to enhance rail connectivity in the north-western region, providing access to existing and new growth areas such as Yew Tee Village and the future Sungei Kadut Eco-District, as well as amenities such as the Rail Corridor and Pang Sua Park Connector.
DTL2e will also shorten travel times for commuters travelling to and from the north and north-western parts of Singapore. In addition, DTL2e will improve rail network resilience in the north-western region by providing commuters with alternative travel and transfer options for their journeys, providing another MRT route for commuters to reach their destinations in the city centre.
Construction works for DTL2e are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the stations projected to open by 2035. In addition, an Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan will be implemented to minimise the environmental impact of the works. Upon DTL2e's completion, the DTL will have a total of 39 stations, including the upcoming Hume station that will open in the second quarter of 2025, as well as the DTL 3 extension (DTL3e) comprising Xilin and Sungei Bedok stations that will open in the second half of 2026.
LTA has also said that this, including other rail network expansions over the next decade, will bring the nation one step closer to its Land Transport Master Plan 2040 target of having 8 in 10 households within a 10-minute walk to a train station by the 2030s.
