Next phases of Cross Island Line (CRL) may have 11 new stations
this includes new stations serving Bukit Timah, Clementi & West Coast. With 4 proposed stations slated to be interchanges - namely King Albert Park, Clementi, Jurong Pier & Gul Circle.
The western leg of the CRL will make the rail system more resilient as the proposed alignment will provide an alternative to the western section of the East-West and the Circle lines. This will help to slash travel time between western Singapore and places such as Ang Mo Kio, Hougang and Sengkang.
Linking major hubs such as the future Jurong Lake District and Punggol Digital District
