SINGAPORE - The North-South Corridor - a 21.5km expressway that will connect towns in the northern region to the city - is expected to be completed around 2026.
Revealing this in a press release on Thursday (April 28), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it will be calling several tenders for the project in the coming months, with major construction works to start in 2017.
While first conceptualised as a vehicular expressway to be finished in 2020, the corridor will now be built as the island's first "integrated transport corridor" featuring dedicated bus lanes and cycling trunk routes.
