Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) says the North-South Corridor is delayed by about two years and will open in phases starting in 2029. The change in schedule is linked to construction difficulties that arise from unexpectedly challenging ground conditions.
LTA says the more complex ground and engineering work required for the project has set back the timeline. Both outlets report that the corridor will not be delivered as originally planned but instead will be rolled out in stages, with an initial opening window beginning in 2029.
While both sources cite the same underlying reason—difficult ground conditions leading to more complex construction methods—they focus on the delay figure and the phased approach. Neither outlet presents competing explanations or alternative timelines beyond the updated target window communicated by LTA.
