Work to connect two new reception tracks along Sengkang East Avenue to the mainline — as part of the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT) depot expansion works — has been completed two weeks ahead of schedule, with services on the Sengkang West inner loop set to resume on Oct 4.
Announcing this on Friday (Oct 2), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the earlier completion, originally scheduled for completion on Oct 18, was made possible by the project team’s efforts.
“We were able to achieve this because the project team on the ground was able to optimise the sequencing of works, so the major and critical works were completed (safely) ahead of schedule,” said Senior Minister of State Sun Xueling, who met with the project team and workers at the depot.
Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Ng Chee Meng, who is also MP for Jalan Kayu SMC, and grassroots advisers of Sengkang GRC, including Dr Lam Pin Min.
With the impending resumption of full train services, the authority will cease weekday peak-period shuttle bus services after the evening peak on Friday.
