This contract covers the construction of the RTS Link viaduct and tunnels in Singapore. The viaduct will stand above the Straits of Johor within Singapore’s territory at a height of 25 meters. It will then continue inland and transition to underground tunnels connecting to the RTS Link Woodlands North station.

Construction for the RTS Link viaduct and tunnels is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2021. The first civil contract to construct the RTS Link Woodlands North station, tunnels, and the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) building in Singapore, was awarded on November 26, 2020. The RTS Link is expected to commence passenger service at the end of 2026.
