SINGAPORE – The three remaining stations that will close the loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations on the Circle Line (CCL) will begin operations on July 12, said Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow.
He made the announcement on the evening of May 14 after a LaSalle College of the Arts graduate fashion show at Cantonment station, one of the three new stops.
The other two new stations are Keppel and Prince Edward Road, and they make up the sixth and final stage of the CCL.
Ahead of the opening, the public can preview and ride free of charge between the three stations on July 4, from 9.30am to 9pm, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on May 14.
Mr Siow said the new stretch is undergoing final system tests and integration, and the opening of the stations will bring the CCL Stage 6 project to completion.

Announced in 2015, the 4km stretch was originally slated to be operational in 2025, but was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was then scheduled to open in the first half of 2026, before the timeline was revised to mid-2026, as tunnel strengthening work on the line needed to be completed before remaining work on the final stage could resume.
With its completion, the line will have 33 stations and span 39km. Twelve of the stations are interchanges.

The sixth stage of the CCL, which is run by operator SMRT, is expected to shorten travelling times and give commuters alternative routes that bypass the busy City Hall and Raffles Place interchanges.
