Construction of first phase of CRL line starts: LTA

The underground train line will serve daily ridership of more than 600,000.

The construction of the first phase of the 50-kilometre Cross Island Line (CRL), the longest and eighth line, begins and will be completed by 2030, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) revealed.

In a statement, LTA said the first phase will include 12 stations which will serve Loyang, Hougang, and Ang Mo Kio.

Expected daily ridership will be more than 600,000 in the initial years from 2030 and will be up to 1 million in the longer term.

CRL Bright Hill station will be connected to a new Transit Priority Corridor along Sin Ming Avenue to permit multi-modal transfer to bus and active mobility networks.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
