Structural and architectural works within the depot have been completed, with internal works such as fittings of rail tracks ongoing.
The connection of the new reception tracks to the main line will involve four phases – the demolition of existing infrastructure, reinstatement of power lines, testing of systems such as power and signalling, followed by the testing of the trains on the new reception tracks.
“These enhancements will enable more efficient train deployment, improved maintenance productivity, provide greater operational redundancy and deliver more reliable LRT services for commuters,” said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a statement.
Affected commuters can take a dedicated shuttle bus service that will also operate from Sengkang Bus Interchange during weekday morning and evening peak periods.
