LT Sambo (Singapore Branch) Joint Venture (JV) has secured a $571.51m (S$780m) civil contract from Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The scope of the work includes the design and construction of tunnels between Aviation Park station and Changi East Depot as part of the Cross Island Line Phase 1 (CRL1).

Work on this development is slated to commence this month, with passenger service expected to start in 2030.

These tunnels will span 6km and will be built under Aviation Park Road at around 20m below ground level.
