The environmental study for the DTL extension, which involved the engagement and consultation of nature groups, has been completed. The relevant reports will be published on LTA’s website this month for public feedback.
“An environmental monitoring and management plan will be implemented, with mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impact of the works,” said LTA.
These include creating a wildlife corridor along the rail corridor to allow continued movement of fauna during construction works, as well as regular monitoring of sensitive habitats by ecologists for adaptive management.
When the DTL extension is completed, it will have a total of 39 stations, including the upcoming Hume station that will open in the second quarter of this year, as well as Xilin and Sungei Bedok stations that will open in the second half of 2026.
