With the deepest section around 50m below ground level, the tunnels will connect Elias and Pasir Ris stations.

Designed to serve existing and future developments in the eastern, north-eastern and western corridors, the Cross Island Line (CRL) is the eighth MRT line in Singapore.

The CRL will link crucial hubs such as Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District and Changi region. It will be built in three phases.

Launched in 2019, the 29km-long CRL Phase 1 covers 12 stations from Aviation Park to Bright Hill. Construction works on this project are scheduled to be over by 2030.

The 15km long CLR Phase 2, which was announced in September last year, consists of six underground stations.

The 7.3km CPe, including four stations, will help provide better rail connectivity to eastern areas such as Pasir Ris and Tampines North besides north-eastern areas such as Punggol and Sengkang.
