CRL3 - Commencement of contract tendering

Details of contract CR306 - the first CRL3 contract to be floated for tendering.

Today, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) released the first contract under phase 3 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) for tender. An initial round of pre-qualifications was conducted in September last year, with a total of 35 companies indicating interest in the contracts. For the first contract released - contract CR306 - the contract tender will close on 14 December 2026. A second round of pre-qualifications has also been floated, for which interested companies that participated in the initial CRL3-PQ will need to respond to as well.

Details on the delivery date for contract CR306.

Based on the delivery date for the contract, it appears that CRL3 can be expected to commence revenue service around 2037. Drawing reference from the contract title, the successful contractor is likely to be involved in the construction of a launch shaft, facility building and tunneling works to neighbouring stations. At the moment, details are scant but will likely become more apparent in approximately 1 year's time when contracts are awarded. This is likely when renders of the design & build contracts will be made available by the successful contractors.
