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.
