Singapore extends MRT closures to fix aging tracks, starting Nov. 29, due to insufficient repair time.
Singapore will implement longer, more frequent planned MRT closures to address aging infrastructure, with a 10-day shutdown of parts of the East-West Line starting November 29, as current nightly maintenance windows are too short for major upgrades.
Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow cited insufficient time for safe, effective repairs and noted challenges including outdated systems, difficulty attracting younger workers, and competition for skilled labor.
An international panel has recommended extended closures, predictive maintenance, digital tools, and workforce development to improve reliability, with a final report expected to guide future improvements.
