Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Feasibility Study on New MRT Line Serving North and North-East Regions
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Transport whether he can provide an update on the feasibility study commissioned for a new MRT line serving the north and north-east regions, which is separate from the North-South Line (NSL) and Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and running through Sengkang West, as announced in the Land Transport Master Plan 2040.
Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:
1. Rail projects are major and complex public investments. A comprehensive range of factors is assessed before any decision is made to build a new rail line, including existing and future land use developments along the corridor, existing public transport options, and engineering considerations. Studies by the Land Transport Authority are ongoing, and updates will be provided when ready.
