Cross Island Line is a high capacity line of the Singapore MRT currently under development in Singapore. It is expected to run in an east-west direction from Changi to Jurong. The Cross Island Line will carry the code CRL. The line is colour coded lime.

The Cross Island Line was first announced in 2013. On 25 January 2019, 12 stations of this line was identified spanning 29 kilometres (18 miles), from Aviation Park MRT Station to Bright Hill MRT Station. On 10 March 2020, a branch of the Cross Island Line, 7.3 kilometres (4.5 miles) in length, was announced from Pasir Ris MRT Station to Punggol MRT Station. In December 2021, it was announced that the western half of the CRL will have 11 stations, with interchanges at the King Albert Park MRT Station, Clementi Station and Jurong Pier MRT Station. The terminus will be at the Gul Circle MRT Station. However, after the announcement, the map was taken offline, with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) stating that the actual route has not been finalised.

On the map below, I show the approximate route of the Cross Island Line. As this project is under development an on going, I will update this page from time to time as it progresses.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
