The Tuas Port Phase 2 project will increase Singapore's port capacity by 20%. The North-South Corridor (NSC) Expressway will reduce travel time between the north and south of Singapore by up to 30 minutes. The Jurong Region Line (JRL) Stage 2 will provide a new MRT line connecting the Jurong Lake District to the rest of Singapore. The Cross Island Line (CRL) Phase 2 will provide a new MRT line connecting the east and west of Singapore. The Sungei Kadut Eco-District will develop a new eco-district, providing a sustainable and innovative environment for businesses and industries. The Punggol Digital District will develop a new digital district, providing a hub for technology companies and startups.
Fourth, they will increase productivity in the construction sector.
The projects will introduce new technologies and processes that will increase productivity in the construction sector. For example, the Tuas Port Phase 2 project will use automated cranes to load and unload cargo, which will increase efficiency and reduce costs. The North-South Corridor (NSC) Expressway will use prefabricated bridge segments, which will reduce construction time by 30%. The Jurong Region Line (JRL) Stage 2 will use tunnel boring machines to construct tunnels, which will reduce disruption to traffic and businesses. The Cross Island Line (CRL) Phase 2 will use lean construction methods, which will reduce waste and improve quality. The S
