SINGAPORE: The Boon Lay extension of the Mass Rapid Transit system will start operating from February 28 next year.

The 3.8-kilometre stretch along the East-West Line will consist of two stations - Pioneer and Joo Koon.

The Land Transport Authority says this will benefit Jurong West residents as well as those working in the Jurong Industrial estate.

Their travelling time is expected to be cut by up to 15 minutes.

The extension will also give commuters direct access to the MRT system.

They currently have to make bus transfers at Boon Lay station.

$1.13b DTL contracts awarded

THE Land Transport Authority has awarded six contracts worth $1.13 billion for the Downtown Line.

The contracts, which will cover all three stages of the project, will include the procurement of trains and other electrical and mechanical systems.

Among the contracts is one awarded to the consortium of Bombardier Transportation GmbH / Bombardier (Singapore) for the procurement of 73 three-car electric trains at a cost of $570.7 million.

These trains will be fully automated and driverless. Such trains are being used for the North-East Line and will also be used for the upcoming Circle Line.

Another $287.5 million contract was awarded to Westinghouse Brake and Signal Holdings to provide the signalling system and platform screen doors at the stations, said LTA in a statement on Friday.

Singapore Technologies won the bid for the provision of integrated supervisory control system and for communications system. The two contracts are worth approximately $152 million in total.

Lifts will be provided by Otis Elevator Company in a contract worth $22.7 million; while escalators will be provided by Constructions Industrielles de la Mediterranee in a $100.3 million contract.

Mr Yam Ah Mee, LTA's Chief Executive said: 'With the award of these six DTL contracts, I am pleased that the progress of the project is on-time. We are looking forward to the completion of DTL1 in 2013.'
