A new underground MRT station will be built near Yew Tee Village as part of a planned extension of the Downtown Line (DTL) from Bukit Panjang to Sungei Kadut. The 4km rail extension will also comprise a new interchange with the North-South Line (NSL) in Sungei Kadut Central. The stations will open in 2035, with construction to start in the fourth quarter of 2025.
A new underground MRT station will be built near Yew Tee Village as part of a planned extension of the Downtown Line from Bukit Panjang to Sungei Kadut , with travel time to downtown areas such as Chinatown expected to be cut by 20 minutes when it is completed.
LTA said the first new station after the current DTL terminus in Bukit Panjang will be located in Sungei Kadut Avenue on industrial land owned by government agency JTC Corporation that is slated to undergo future development. The interchange will serve the upcoming Sungei Kadut Eco-District, a 200ha industrial estate being developed by JTC as part of longer-term plans by the Ministry of Trade and Industry to revamp one of Singapore’s oldest industrial estates.
LTA said the DTL extension will improve the resilience of the MRT network in north-western Singapore by giving passengers alternative travel and transfer options. At present, residents living in the north-western region can take the NSL or the Thomson-East Coast Line to the downtown area. Concrete plans to do so were announced in 2019 as part of the Land Transport Master Plan 2040, which lays out LTA’s roadmap to expand the MRT network, so that nine in 10 peak-period journeys can be completed within 45 minutes using public transport.
