SINGAPORE - More than $60 billion will be invested to expand and renew the rail network over the next 10 years, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan.

A Transport Ministry spokesman said the $60 billion sum is the projected cash flow for the next 10 years. "In time, we will also need to renew the next oldest lines - North East Line and Sengkang Punggol LRT," he said in response to Mr Melvin Yong . On ongoing rail projects, Mr Khaw said Stage 2 of Thomson-East Coast Line will be completed by this year.

The Circle Line will be a complete circle in 2025, when the sixth stage to link HarbourFront to Marina Bay is ready. Mr Khaw did not give an update about a proposed new MRT line in the latest Land Transport Masterplan, which the Land Transport Authority said it was conducting feasibility studies on.
