Bukit Panjang LRT to close on Jan 25 as upgrading works enter final stretch: Jeffrey Siow

The BPLRT was closed on two Sundays earlier this year to facilitate testing of its new signalling system.

“When we made the decision to upgrade the line in 2018, many of the system’s core components were reaching the end of life. Reliability had become a real concern, and we knew a major renewal was needed,” said Mr Siow.

“We have come a long way since 2018 … I know just how much effort the team has put in behind the scenes in the past seven years to get to where we are today. The end is in sight – grateful for commuters’ patience and understanding as we enter this final stretch of works.”

LTA last week advised commuters who would be affected by BPLRT’s one-day closure to take existing bus services instead. 

It also said that a shuttle service – LRT Shuttle B – will run in the direction of BPLRT Service B every five to 15 minutes.
