Singapore, known for its well-developed infrastructure, is constantly undergoing updates and improvements to ensure that it remains one of the most liveable and efficient cities in the world. In recent years, the country has embarked on several major infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing connectivity, sustainability, and resilience. Let’s take a look at some of the latest updates on these projects.
One of the most highly anticipated projects is the High Speed Rail (HSR) that will connect Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After a period of uncertainty, the project is back on track with the signing of a bilateral agreement between the two countries in 2020. The HSR is expected to reduce travel time between the two cities from the current 4.5 hours to just 90 minutes. In another exciting development, the Jurong Lake District, touted as Singapore’s second central business district, is set to undergo a major transformation with new commercial and residential spaces, along with green features such as a 70-hectare park. Other ongoing projects include the expansion of the Singapore Changi Airport and the construction of the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line, which will improve connectivity to the eastern and northern parts of the island. With these updates, Singapore is well on its way to becoming a more dynamic and sustainable city for its residents and visitors.
