A walk down memory laneThe trains have gone silent in the 24km
Rail Corridor between Tanjong Pagar and Woodlands, but lush life
abounds. Some spots are now open to joggers and nature lovers, and
the plan is to eventually turn it into a fully accessible
redeveloped green space for the public. The corridor and its
improvement plans are split into the southern, central and northern
sections, with each section featuring its unique landmarks and
scenery. Here are some highlights.
TIMELINE
The URA begins consulting public and interest groups on possible
improvements to the Rail Corridor.
Several sections of the corridor, such as the conserved Bukit
Timah Railway Station and its surroundings, are closed for
improvement works including heritage restoration and trail
works.
Nearly 5km of the corridor – between Jalan Kilang Barat and
Commonwealth Drive, and between Buona Vista and the Bukit Timah
Railway Station – opens after trail improvement works.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station• One of the original end points
for the railway line, the station is known for its grand facade
in�uenced by both the neoclassical and art deco schools of
architecture.• The national monument is fronted by four large
statues representing the
four economic pillars of Malaya – commerce, agriculture,
transportand industry.• The railway station is set to become part
of the Circle Line by 2025,with Cantonment MRT station incorporated
into it.
Bukit Timah Railway Station• Originally constructed as a small
station to serve the suburban parts of Singapore, this
single-storey building follows the style of traditional small-town
stations common in the United Kingdom and Malaya in the 1930s.• The
station is being redeveloped into a multi-use facility.
Steel truss bridges The two steel truss bridges were gazetted
for conservation by the URA in 2015. They opened in 1932 as part of
the then KTM railway line and served as landmarks for decades.
A LOOK BACK IN TIME
Bukit Timah Fire Station• Built in 1956, Singapore’s fourth �re
station was integral to keeping kampung homes safe from widespread
blazes.• It is now a conserved building.

The central section is set to fully open, with a short detour in
Holland Road where ongoing works are expected to be completed early
next year. By the middle of this year, a continuous trail from
Hillview Road to Spooner Road will also be ready.
Based on current plans, taking into account delaysdue to
Covid-19, the corridor is slated to be fully ready by 2025.
