It will transport approximately 10,000 passengers per hour each way to ease traffic on the already-congested Causeway. Facilities for customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) will be co-located, where passengers will only be required to undergo border clearance once, during departure.

Initially to be located as part of the Thomson-East Coast MRT line Mandai Depot, the RTS link depot will be relocated to Johor Bahru instead. Furthermore, the RTS link will be an independent Light Rail Transit (LRT) system rather than using the existing Thomson-East Coast MRT line's system as proposed initially.

Construction of the RTS Link Woodlands North station has begun on 22 January 2021. The station, to be constructed underground, will feature an underground link to the CIQ building and connected via an underground concourse to the existing Woodlands North MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT line. On the other hand, construction for the viaduct and tunnels is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021. The entire system is expected to begin operations in January 2027, replacing the current KTM shuttle train between the countries.

Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6)

To be completed by 2026, the extension will run from Marina Bay through Keppel, ending at HarbourFront and will close the gap between the Harbourfront and Marina Bay stations, so that the Circle Line is fully orbital. This extension will see the addition of three new stations: Keppel, Cantonment, and Prince Edward Road.

The integrated transport hub is scheduled to be completed by 2027.

Tuas Mega Port

The S$20 billion Tuas Mega Port started its first phase of construction in 2016, with the second phase in 2019. To be opened in four stages from 2021, the port will consolidate all existing port operations at Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Panjang, Keppel, and Pulau Brani, and centralise it in the Tuas Terminal from 2027. When fully operational, the port can potentially handle a capacity of about 65 million TEUs a year, double of the current capacity. New technologies will be employed to increase productivity.

Approximately twice the size of Ang Mo Kio town, when fully operational in 2040, the Tuas Mega Port will be the world's largest fully automated terminal, with features such as automated wharf and yard functions, and fully-electric automated guided vehicles to carry out its key operations. The project broke ground on 3 October 2019.

To optimise land use, an area for leisure purposes is currently under study. The plan is to construct a area that will be elevated 42 metres above ground to house recreational amenities such as cafes, retail stores, and a jogging track. Large retail outlets such as Tesco and Decathlon are being considered to bring in weekend crowds. The area will be partly opened for public use and its accessibility will be greatly improved if plans for the Tuas South MRT Extension on the East West line come into fruition.

Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC)

The first in Southeast Asia, the upcoming 50-hectare Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC) will be equipped to test the rail systems of Singapore 24/7, without causing any disruptions to regular passenger services. This will free up the already-limited engineering hours on the existing train lines for other crucial activities such as maintenance and renewal works. It will house an operations control centre, testing equipment, and test track for performance integration, and endurance and high speed testing for new trains and supporting systems. For major refurbishment of existing trains, the centre will also contain a rolling stock workshop, stabling tracks, and maintenance tracks.

The centre, located at the former Raffles Country Club in Tuas, will begin operations in phases, with the first phase to be completed by 2023 to receive new trains and test systems for the Circle line Stage 6. It is expected to be fully operational by 2025.

In total, the depot will have a storage capacity of 220 trains and 760 buses. The building will be using a stacked approach, stacking three independently operated train depots above one another. The Downtown line depot will be located underground, followed by the Thomson-East Coast line depot on ground level and the East West line depot on the level above it. On the other hand, the adjacent three-storey bus depot will house workshops on the first level with the remaining two levels being parking bays. The integrated design will save of land and S$2 billion as compared to constructing four separate depots.

The depot is scheduled to be completed by 2025.

Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040)

Announced on 25 May 2019, the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040) reveals the long-term plans to meet the transport needs of Singaporeans over the next two decades.

Two new stations will be added on the North South line. Brickland MRT station, to be located between Choa Chu Kang MRT station and Bukit Gombak MRT station, will serve residents living in the surrounding areas and the upcoming Tengah New Town. Sungei Kadut MRT station, to be located between Yew Tee MRT station and Kranji MRT station, will serve industries in the area as well as the upcoming Sungei Kadut Eco-District. Both stations are scheduled to be opened by the mid-2030s.

The Downtown line will be extended to the future Sungei Kadut MRT station. This will result in the terminus to be shifted from the current Bukit Panjang MRT station to Sungei Kadut MRT station. It will interchange with the North South line. The extension is scheduled to operational by the mid-2030s, when the Sungei Kadut MRT station is completed.

The Thomson-East Coast line will also be extended, with an additional MRT station serving the future Changi Airport Terminal 5. The current East West line branch from Tanah Merah MRT station to Changi Airport MRT station will also be converted and linked up as part of the Thomson-East Coast line extension. The extension is scheduled to be completed by 2040.

A new MRT line that is being proposed as part of the master plan is currently under study. If feasible, it will run between Woodlands and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, serving parts of Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon North, Whampoa, and Kallang along the way.

Other than the MRT network, more Transit Priority Corridors (TPC) and Integrated Transport Hubs (ITH) will be built to improve the bus network and its connectivity. Overall, the LTMP 2040 aims to ensure the land transport system of Singapore is more seamless and convenient, inclusive, safer, and cleaner.

Tampines Walking and Cycling Town

After Ang Mo Kio, Tampines will be the second walking and cycling town in Singapore when works to improve the town's infrastructure are completed. The total length of cycling paths in Tampines will be three times more than the current length. Furthermore, footpaths will be widened and roads will be redesigned and rebuilt. The existing cycling paths in the town will also be widened, while existing bicycle crossings will have additional signs and markings. All of these aim to make walking and cycling within the town safer and more convenient. A cycling bridge over the Tampines Expressway (TPE) to connect Tampines and Pasir Ris, and a cycling underpass to connect Tampines and Simei are currently under study.

The entire project is scheduled to be completed by 2022.

Expansion of Sengkang Depot

Announced by the Land Transport Authority on 5 February 2021, Sengkang Depot, specifically the depot for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines, will be expanded from to to cater for the upcoming fleet expansion of both LRT lines. Situated above the North East MRT line's depot, the expansion will include a new train stabling area, a maintenance workshop, and three new traction power stations. Two reception tracks will also be built to shorten the train launching time.

Construction began in end-2022 and is scheduled to be completed by 2027.

Upgrading and Expansion of Changi Airport Terminal 2

Currently closed partially for improvement works, Changi Airport Terminal 2 will be upgraded on a large-scale to handle up to 5 million more passengers a year. As part of the upgrading, two iconic flight information display flip boards will be decommissioned and replaced by digital screens. One of the boards has been retired and will be donated to the National Heritage Board (NHB) to become part of Singapore's National Collection.

The revamped Terminal 2 will feature more greenery and 15,500 square metres more space for both travellers and visitors. The layout of the departure hall will be reconfigured to make more space, with some of the gaps between the drop-off points and the check-in areas to be partially reclaimed to increase the floor area. There will also be more self-service check-in facilities, baggage belts, and F&B outlets such as a two-storey duplex F&B concept at the north end of the terminal's landside. To cater for more retail and dining offerings, commercial spaces within the departure transit hall will be increased, particularly the existing food street areas which will undergo refurbishment, providing a garden dining experience. Also, as part of the upgrading, the existing Orchid Garden at the departure transit area will make way for a new garden with more plant species. More lounge-like waiting areas will also be included in the arrival hall for passengers and visitors.

The project is scheduled to be carried out in phases and is expected to be completed by 2024.

The special village will be built on a site in Gibraltar Crescent near Sembawang Park. The site houses 10 cluster bungalows, which are to be remained, across two land plots. Other than providing a safe, home-like environment, the village will also offer customised services and programmes to foster meaningful and active interaction among its residents.

On 19 May 2020, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has rejected the sole tender of the site as the bid of S$15 million was deemed to be too low.

Education

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Punggol Campus

Part of the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD), the currently-under-construction Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus in Punggol will consolidate all degree programmes offered by the university under one campus. Currently, the university is located in a main campus at Dover and five satellite campuses in polytechnics across the island. The new 91,000 square-metre centralised campus in Punggol will have a capacity of up to 12,000 students.

The campus will be co-located with the new JTC business park to foster greater student-industry collaboration. SIT and JTC have exchanged 8,000 square metres of space, allowing industry partners to operate within the SIT campus, and student attending classes in the JTC buildings. Buildings of both developments will be linked by a Collaboration Loop.

Aside from auditoriums and indoor sports facilities, two 10-storey academic blocks will house classrooms, laboratories, and group learning spaces linked by an elevated canopy walk. An 11-storey Admin Block will house approximately 2,200 administrative staff and faculty, while another 10-storey building, named the Learning Hub, will be fitted with a solar panel roof, where energy generated will be transferred into the grid which integrates gas, electricity, and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. The entire development will be the first university in South-east Asia to have a multi-energy micro grid network that draws energy from various sources.

The ground level spaces of the campus will also accessible to the general public. Aside from a market village and a foodcourt facing the waterfront, of an existing forest along Punggol Road will be conserved to create a forest courtyard, giving the campus a distinctive 'campus-in-a-park' identity. The existing Punggol Road will also be transformed into a 1.3 km heritage trail, running through the campus and to the waterfront.

The campus, estimated to cost more than S$1 billion, is now expected to be completed by 2024.

Ngee Ann Kongsi Building (Expansion of LASALLE College of the Arts)

A new S$50 million, 20,000 square-metre 12-storey block, directly connected to Rochor MRT station, will be built on a site adjacent to the existing LASALLE College of the Arts McNally Street campus to centralise the school's facilities. With the expansion, students will not need to travel to different campuses for classes. The expansion will include new facilities such as a 300-seat lecture theatre, a music recital hall, a film studio, and new public galleries. The new building, to be built with the S$50 million donation from Ngee Ann Kongsi, will also feature a glass facade that opens out to Rochor Canal Road.

Construction will begin from 2021 and is expected to be completed by 2025.

Attractions

Mandai Nature Project

Currently under construction outside the Nature Reserves, the Mandai Nature Precinct will be majorly rejuvenated. Jurong Bird Park will be relocated from its current site at Jurong and rejuvenated in the new precinct with a new name - Bird Paradise, as well as an addition of a new park named Rainforest Wild.

When fully completed, the precinct will be home to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and Rainforest Wild.

The new 17-hectare Bird Paradise will allow visitors to observe free-flying birds in their natural habitats at the nine new aviaries themed with different landscapes from around the world, such as wetlands, bamboo forests, and rainforests. It will also house a breeding and research facility to increase the populations of endangered species. It is scheduled to open in 2H 2022.

The new 12.5-hectare Rainforest Wild, which aspires to be an authentic representation of a rainforest, will allow visitors to go on aerial walkways that extend from the forest floor to the treetop canopies, or relax in the cool forest in suspended pods.

Home-grown hospitality group, Banyan Tree, has been appointed to develop and operate the eco-resort, which will be built on a site currently housing the Singapore Zoo's back-of-house facilities. The 338-room resort will provide guests with an "immersive stay close to nature" and an "unprecedented access" to nature during their stay. Other than standard and family rooms, the resort will also offer elevated cabins and treehouses. Guests will also be able to go on guided nature walks, native wildlife spotting tours, and workshops. The resort will adopt an environmentally design and construction, and operate along sustainable principles. When completed, the resort will be Singapore's first Super Low Energy resort.

Two arrival nodes, namely West Arrival Node and East Arrival Node, will also be constructed to welcome visitors into the entire precinct. The West Arrival Node will include a breath-taking view of a waterfall set amidst a "luxuriantly-landscaped" cavern. It will also feature a landscaped deck to connect visitors between the two new wildlife parks. The East Arrival Node, which is envisioned as a forest courtyard, will feature a synergy of nature and architecture. It will serve as the arrival and entry point for the existing three attractions, a nature-themed indoor attraction and the Banyan Tree resort. The East Arrival Node will also house a basement transportation hub, creating a vehicle-free environment at surface level for public performances and events.

Public spaces with no admission charges, such as nature trails, boardwalks, outdoor seating, and playgrounds will also be added.

On 13 October 2021, Mandai Wildlife Group introduced a rebranding of the five parks, unveiling new logos and the renaming of River Safari and Jurong Bird Park to River Wonders and Bird Paradise, respectively.

The 5-in-1 eco-tourism hub is scheduled to be fully completed in an environmentally-sustainable and sensitive manner by 2024.

Expansion of Integrated Resorts

Announced on 3 April 2019, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be expanded, with the plans costing S$9 billion.

Marina Bay Sands (MBS)

The MBS will build a new 15,000-seat indoor entertainment arena, as well as a fourth tower containing about 1,000 hotel rooms, a sky roof with a swimming pool and a "signature restaurant". New ballrooms, exhibition halls will be built with food and beverage options to expand. The tower will be located next to the existing development.

The timeline for the completion of the expansion has not been announced. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion has been announced that it would be likely delayed.

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)

The RWS will have two new attractions, Minion Land and Super Nintendo World, at Universal Studios Singapore. The existing S.E.A. Aquarium will expand thrice its current size and be rebranded as the Singapore Oceanarium.

In addition, RWS will also add two new hotels with a total capacity of 1,100 rooms and a future lifestyle complex at the waterfront. The waterfront promenade will be revamped to include new night shows and an event zone, with a new Adventure Dining Playhouse to replace the existing Resorts World Theatre. A driverless system will also be built across the Sentosa Boardwalk for better connectivity.

RWS's new attractions will open in phases, yearly from 2020, and expected to be fully completed by 2025. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion has been announced that it will be delayed due to disruptions in the global supply chain. A re-design to the expansion will also be carried out to ensure adaptability to the post COVID-19 environment.

On 26 May 2022, work for the new Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore began with a groundbreaking ceremony. The expansion is expected to be operationally-ready in 2024. It will house multiple rides including the motion-simulator 3D ride - Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, and a ride that will be the first of its kind in the world and exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore.

Additional Gaming Provisions and Casino Levies/Taxes Increase

MBS and RWS, should they decide to expand gaming facilities, will be allowed space of 2,000 square metres and 500 square metres respectively adding to the current 15,000 sq m each, with 1,000 and 800 new machines respectively on top of the 2,500 each. This will still lead to a drop in approved gaming areas from 3.1 percent to 2.3 percent given the increase in non-gaming areas.

As a result of these changes, the exclusivity period of the IRs will be extended to end-2030, with casino levies for Singaporeans and PRs increasing to S$150 daily and S$3,000 annually, taking effect on 4 April 2019. From August 2019, a second daily or annual casino entry levy can only be purchased if the current levy expires within six hours, taking effect after six hours of purchase.

From March 2022, casino tax rates will also increase from the current 5 percent and 15 percent for premium and mass gaming, respectively, to a two-tier tax rates of 8 percent and 12 percent (premium) and 18 percent and 22 percent (mass) based on the total gross gaming revenue earned. A flat tax rate of 22 percent (mass) and 12 per cent (premium) will be imposed should the IRs' investment commitments fail. The tax rates will remain unchanged for 10 years.

Sentosa-Brani Master Plan

Sentosa and Pulau Brani will be transformed under the Sentosa-Brani Master Plan. First proposed in 2018, the plans will span the next two to three decades, with both islands divided into five zones. "Vibrant Cluster", will have large-scale attractions spanning both islands, while "Island Heart" will feature hotels, commercial and conference spaces. "Waterfront" will have a Discovery Park situated in Pulau Brani, while "Ridgeline" will connect green spaces from Mount Faber to Mount imbiah, featuring nature and heritage attractions. "Beachfront" will have a water show, fairgrounds and other attractions to rejuvenate Sentosa's beaches. Transportation will be enhanced too.

In addition, a future "Downtown South" resort, similar to the current NTUC Downtown East in Pasir Ris, will be located on Pulau Brani once the port moves out in 2027. A suitable location is still being worked out with the National Trades Union Congress.

The first project to be built will be the S$90 million Sentosa Sensoryscape, a themed two-tiered thoroughfare connecting Resorts World Sentosa and the southern beaches, replacing the current linkway. It will have look-out points, water features and other architectural elements, thereby creating a multi-sensory experience. When completed by 2022, the Sentosa Sensoryscape will double the current linkway capacity, being as large as 5 football fields. As a result, the Sentosa Merlion will be demolished from year-end, with its last day of operations on 20 October 2019. The four shops around Sentosa Merlion started closing from the next day onwards.

The current Police Coast Guard headquarters on Pulau Brani will stay put.

Kallang Alive Master Plan

Announced by Sport Singapore (SportSG) on 6 August 2019, the area around Kallang and the Singapore Sports Hub is set to be further enhanced as a destination for sport and world-class entertainment and inject vibrancy into the area while complementing the already-completed Singapore Sports Hub. There will be a total of six developments with the entire project set to be completed by 2025.

Included in the plan is Singapore's first velodrome to cater to the community and serve as the national training centre for track cycling. The velodrome will be part of the Youth Hub which include spaces for non-traditional sports such as speed climbing and parkour.

Built on the former Kallang baseball/softball field, the Kallang Football Hub will house the national training centre and ActiveSG Football Academy. The facility consists of a full-sized natural turf pitch, two full-sized artificial pitches, and a half-sized pitch. Four sheltered futsal pitches and a perimeter running track will also be part of the facility.

Replacing one of the outdoor carparks near the Kallang Leisure Park, the new tennis facility, Singapore Tennis Centre, will consist of open and sheltered courts and similarly function as the national training centre and ActiveSG Academy. The new facility will replace the current centre and will be opened to the public.

The Kallang Theatre and its surrounding areas will be redeveloped into an integrated sport, entertainment, and lifestyle centre. Some proposed ideas include office spaces, a multi-purpose e-sports arena, a themed hotel, and an international sports medicine centre.

A circular walking and cycling loop named Alive Gateway and Loop will also be built to trace the original Kallang Airport airfield and link to the waterfront. This would reintegrate the old Kallang Airport site with the overall precinct.

Benaan Kapal Green, an active community park space, will be introduced along the waterfront and includes park connectors, running trails, and play areas for the public.

However, with the development of the master plan, current spaces for sports such as archery, cricket, softball, baseball, netball, and squash will have to be vacated to make way for the development, with most already left the premises.

NS Square

First announced in 2017 and a reveal of the artist's impressions and further details on 9 August 2020, the NS Square is set to replace the existing Marina Bay floating platform (The Float @ Marina Bay) and is envisioned to be the central focus of the new downtown area. The development will be aligned on a central axis, with The Promontory on the opposite side of the bay, offering a panoramic view of the city skyline.

Like its predecessor, the NS Square will continue to host future National Day Parades, as well as a new addition of a permanent gallery dedicated to national servicemen ( NSmen) and honour their past and present contributions. The NS Square will be a permanent space for large-scale national events and has a seating capacity of 30,000. It will also include community sports facilities, such as a swimming pool and water sports centre, as well as a waterfront promenade with F&B and retail outlets that will improve pedestrian connectivity.

If the Singapore Grand Prix is extended beyond 2021, the temporary closure of the floating platform for construction works of the NS Square will affect the race's Bay Grandstand. A realignment to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, particularly the 300-metre stretch from Turns 16 to 19 along the floating platform, will also have to be carried out. This will be the first major adjustment to the circuit since 2008.

The project is scheduled to begin in March 2023 and expected to be completed by end-2026.

Founders' Memorial

To begin construction in 2022 in a waterfront site at Gardens by the Bay's Bay East Garden, the Founders' Memorial is scheduled to be completed in 2027 to honour the pioneer leaders of Singapore. The building will feature clean architecture lines and a flowing linear green terrain, with lush greenery and foliage, that leads visitors to an amphitheatre that is suitable for large-scale gatherings. The waterfront site will offer visitors a clear view of the Singapore skyline. Other than the amphitheatre, the building will also feature a viewing gallery, permanent and temporary galleries, a visitor centre, multi-purpose rooms, a lake, and a forest trail.

The Founders' Memorial will be served by the future Founders' Memorial MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast line, which will be opened in tandem with the development.

New Science Centre Singapore

Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new Science Centre Singapore will be larger than the current centre to house more gallery spaces for thematic exhibitions and enhanced educational facilities such as specialised laboratories for visitors to conduct hands-on experiments and create new inventions. It will also have more outdoor programmes for visitors to explore the interaction between nature and science. The centre will also have a maker space for organisations to test their prototypes or for creators to use a 3D-printer.

The new centre, set to be completed by 2025, will be located at a waterfront site next to Chinese Garden MRT station. The existing centre will continue to operate until around 2025, before being repurposed for other uses.

Expansion of Singapore Art Museum (SAM)

Currently closed for renovation works, the S$90 million revamp of the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM) will be completed in 2026. A 1,200 square-metre "floating" sky gallery with column-free spaces is part of the expansion plans. A double-volume atrium entryway and outdoor plaza will also be built to welcome visitors arriving from the Bras Basah MRT station. Furthermore, a new gallery-cum-bridge will be constructed to offer a seamless connection and museum experience between the old St Joseph's Institution and former Catholic High School buildings, which are also occupied by SAM. The existing driveway at the Bras Basah entrance will also be converted into a lawn for pedestrians. Due to the expansion, a new facade featuring reflective glass panels angled towards and reflecting the existing dome of the original heritage main building will be seen from Bras Basah Road.

In total, the expansion will add 30 percent more exhibition space to the property.

Children's Museum Singapore (Redevelopment of Singapore Philatelic Museum)

Currently closed for redevelopment works, the Singapore Philatelic Museum will become a dedicated children's museum. Different from most museums in the country, the revamped Singapore Philatelic Museum will encourage visitors to explore and learn through artefacts, hands-on and immersive displays, personal stories, and role-playing. Visitors will be able to explore a wide range of themes including heritage, culture, and contemporary issues in Singapore and the surrounding region.

The existing stamp collection will continue to be displayed alongside other artefacts to support children's learning.

The past zone will feature native and naturalised plant species, and heritage trees such as the tembusu tree that was commonly planted in the past. On the other hand, the future zone will feature a wetland where greenery is integrated with the urban landscape.

A bridge connecting Bay South Garden and Bay East Garden is currently being studied. A tender for its design will be called by the end of 2022.

Bay East Garden is expected to be completed in 2027, alongside the new Founders' Memorial.

Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor

An 11 km elevated green link running above and parallel to the Bukit Timah Canal, the Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor will provide visitors a seamless connection between Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and Gardens by the Bay. New trees will be planted on both sides of the link to create a "riverine rainforest experience" while providing shade for those using the link.

Construction of the first phase is scheduled to begin in 2021, and is estimated to be completed within two to three years time.

Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network

Expansion of Woodlands Checkpoint

First announced on 30 March 2017 by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the current Woodlands Checkpoint will be expanded with the addition of a new wing to be built at the site of the Old Woodlands Town Centre, adjacent to the checkpoint. The approximately 8-hectare site will help to boost clearance capacity and meet growing cross-border traffic needs.

While demolition works are being carried out at the site, the ICA is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the optimal design of the expansion and the extent of the upgrading and redevelopment works. However, the ICA did not state if the new wing will be meant for vehicular or human traffic, nor state the completion date of the expansion.

On 26 May 2022, the ICA announced that the expansion will include areas aside from the Old Woodands Town Centre. This updated plan will involve the acquisition of nine Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks located adjacent to the existing checkpoint by the second quarter of 2028. Apart from the added capacity, the expansion will also see "flexi-lanes" that are equipped to clear cars and motorcycles, thereby reducing clearance time. To support the expanded checkpoint, surrounding roads and the existing Bukit Timah Expressway will be extended and upgraded to funnel traffic directly to and from the new extension.

Integrated Services Centre (Expansion of ICA Building)
