Sengkang West LRT Inner Loop reopens ahead of schedule on October 4
Train services on the Sengkang West LRT Inner Loop will resume on October 4, two weeks earlier than originally planned. The closure since April has allowed authorities to complete facility upgrades at the Sengkang-Punggol LRT depot.
LSN Singapore ·
The Sengkang West LRT Inner Loop will restore full train operations on October 4, marking an early conclusion to six months of upgrading works. The line has been closed to commuters since April 19 to facilitate expansion works at the Sengkang-Punggol LRT depot.
The accelerated timeline represents progress on a major infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the capacity and efficiency of the LRT network serving the northeastern region. The depot expansion is designed to support increased operational demands on the Sengkang-Punggol LRT lines.
Commuters have relied on shuttle bus services during the closure period. The reopening will restore direct rail connectivity for residents across the affected stations, improving travel times and easing congestion on alternative transport routes.
The early completion comes as part of ongoing efforts to modernize and expand Singapore's public transport infrastructure. Further details on the reopening preparations and any residual service adjustments are expected to be announced in coming weeks.
