Phase 2 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) was announced on 20 September 2022. The CRL, which will open in phases from 2030, is Singapore’s eighth MRT line and its longest fully underground line.
At a visit to the work site of East Coast Integrated Depot, Transport Minister S Iswaran revealed the six stations as part of the 15-kilometre CRL Phase 2, two of which are interchange stations with existing lines. They are:
- CR14 Turf City
- CR15DT6 King Albert Park
- CR16 Maju
- CR17EW23 Clementi
- CR18 West Coast
- CR19 Jurong Lake District
The interchange stations for CRL Phase 2 will connect with the Downtown Line at King Albert Park, and East West Line at Clementi. This alignment was first hinted at back in December 2021 in an MRT system map that was shown to the public as part of an online virtual exhibition.
Construction works for CRL2 are expected to commence in 2023, with the stations opening by 2032.
Phase 3
Engineering studies for Phase 3, which will serve the Jurong Industrial Estate are ongoing as of September 2022.
An article by The Straits Times mentioned that based on an earlier LTA tender, Phase 3 will be about 13km long, consisting of at least 4 stations between Jurong and Tuas, of which two will be interchanges. An integrated train and bus depot in Tuas will also be built to serve the new line.

Back to Cross Island Line
Where’s the exact location for the Tuas integrated depot?Raffles Country Club?Might be a replacement for Soon Lee Depot though.
CRL2 station names are revealed, there’s also CR1 along with TE32 and other CRL stations which will be in the future.
would be nice if they extend the branch line to somewhere in the north too
i think the stations for the changi airport terminal 5 extension is under studies
Looks like Svc 74 & Svc 165 is ready to be either withdrawn or being amended to terminate somewhere.
With the construction of the line, it gives students to Ngee Ann Poly lesser time to travel while on the bus but if Svc 74 terminates at Beauty World ITH, it still benefits students coz it’s just a short distance.
