Really? Or you mean the speculation maps by the citizens? Don't think they will be accurate but Where are they?

Any similar announcement in the past?

Tender for engineering studies for CRL has not even been awarded yet.
I think the earliest will be 2016.

In case it's not clear..I meant the location of the stations.

what about the concerns raised with the nature reserve where the line will crossed.. i think there will be some rejections.

Taking Thomson line as a guide, exact location of stations were announced last year and to be fully operational in yr 2021. So my guess is for cross island line exact location for all stations will be announced in yr 2022 because completion is yr 2030.

It is likely to be announced earlier because the line opens in phases if I recall correctly.

Maybe its part of the Government's plan delay non essential project to ease construction overload........??

The MRT is a critical need. There r not enough jobs in NE to support e population. The line is meant to allow some residents work in e west. Just look at e 2+3 split in MCE to ECP/KPE to see e underlying plan.

Infrastructure development will be critical for the government in the next 2 years as they need to demonstrate to voters they are doing what they promise about transport.
