SINGAPORE - Works on the elevated Canberra MRT station will start in the middle of next year and are expected to complete in 2019, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a statement today.
The new addition to the North-South Line is located along Canberra Link, between Sembawang and Yishun stations. It will be the second MRT station to be built on an existing rail line in Singapore.
SINGAPORE: An additional station will be built between Yishun and Sembawang on the North-South Line, and it will be known as Canberra station, said Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Friday (June 27). The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will announce details later.
"I mentioned last year that LTA was studying the possibility of building an additional station between Yishun and Sembawang on the North-South Line. The more observant amongst you would have noticed a missing station number, NS (12), between these two stations. I am pleased to announce today that the feasibility study has been completed and we will be constructing the station, which will be known as Canberra station," Mr Lui said.
