Early Closure of East West Line (January 2019)

Shorter operating hours along the East West Line (EWL) between Raffles Place and Bugis will take place on Fridays & Saturdays in January 2019 (first two weekends) to facilitate additional engineering hours for maintenance works in the EWL railway tunnels near City Hall MRT Station. This will involve early closures along the EWL.

Concurrently in January 2019 (first two weekends), there is Early Closure for North East Line (Serangoon – Punggol).
