RTS Operations (RTSO) will begin installation of the rail systems after being granted access to the civil structures Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project, connecting Malaysia and Singapore by the end of 2024. This includes trackwork and the installation of signalling, communications, and power systems. The civil works in Malaysia, which cover the maintenance depot, Bukit Chagar station, and viaducts, are about 93 per cent complete. Work will continue in 2025 with final touch-ups, including fit-out and façade installations.
In Singapore, civil works are also advancing, with over 80 per cent of the infrastructure completed. The marine and land viaducts are near completion, and RTSO will soon gain access to the infrastructure to begin installation. The remaining tasks include architectural work, roadworks, electrical systems, and immigration gates. In 2025, work will begin to connect the RTS Link with the existing MRT network at Woodlands North station, enabling seamless travel when the service starts in 2026.
A key feature of the RTS Link project, an iconic viaduct near the marine span, has been completed. The viaduct depicts two hands clasping, symbolising the strong partnership and ties between Malaysia and Singapore.
