The early closure is as a result of the second phase of works along the SMRT rail network, involving the replacement of sleepers, or structures which hold the tracks in place. Timber sleepers would be changed to concrete ones. SMRT intends to complete the works by 2017.
The first phase, affecting stations between Bugis and Tanah Merah, started in November 2015. SMRT has completed 26 per cent of sleeper replacement works along the East-West Line. The final phase, affecting stations between Jurong East and Outram Park, should be completed by 2017 as reported earlier.
Sleeper replacement work on the North-South Line was completed in April 2015.
