CRL3 - 4 more stations and a depot

 

31 July 2026

Phase 3 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) has been unveiled! The section stretches for 10km and will be served by 4 new stations and 1 additional depot that sits beyond the end of the line. There is no current fixed year - yet - for the section's completion other than a vague late-2030's. Realistically, this should sit about 10 to 11 years from now, putting the line's completion at around 2036 to 2037. Where are the stations? Why are there no names? We tackle these questions and more in this post on the final phase of the CRL. Oh, yes, this final phase also brings the CRL's total length up to 6-7 km.

CRL3 - Around the corner

Today, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) unveiled what is most likely to be some welcome news - pre-qualifications for Cross Island Line (CRL)'s phase 3 have opened. In total, there are 8 contracts up for pre-qualification, one likely being for the construction of a depot facility as indicated in the Qualification Criteria. This is likely to be contract CR301, going by past precedent of contract X01s being assigned for depot facilities - CR101 for Changi East depot, J101 for Tengah depot, T301 for the East Coast depot and T201 for Mandai depot.
