MORE ENHANCEMENTS ON THE WAY
Visitors can look forward to more new features along the Rail Corridor, starting with the addition of more amenities like shelters and toilets by the middle of this year.
New community nodes including one in Buona Vista will be completed by the end of this year. A section of the Rail Corridor trail between Hillview Road and Chestnut Drive, which is currently closed, will also reopen by the end of 2024.
The Rail Corridor will also be connected to Rifle Range Nature Park via a path under the Pan Island Expressway viaduct, while there will be a new entry point at Holland Green Linear Park. Both are scheduled to be completed later this year.
Additionally, it will be linked to the new Clementi Nature Corridor, which itself will be made up of 18km of trails.
The reopening of the former Tanjong Pagar railway station, meanwhile, is expected sometime after 2026.
“These enhancements will offer a variety of recreational options and spaces for respite, as we continue to partner Singaporeans in shaping these spaces and rejuvenate the Rail Corridor as a community space for all to enjoy within our city in nature,” NParks and URA said.
