North-South Corridor enters toughest phase as hard rock and tight tunnels slow work

At Novena, tunnelling passes within about 1m of the North-South Line, requiring smaller excavation sections and extra ground support.

Works Ministry: Cameron Highlands bypass not yet built, flood link inaccurate
The Works Ministry says the Cameron Highlands Bypass is still at the design and assessment stage, with no physical construction on site, so claims linking it to recent flash floods are inaccurate. JKR said the flooding in Taman MARDI and Padang Awam in Tanah Rata hit secondary roads outside the project alignment, while a small landslide on Jalan Tengkolok was cleared under routine maintenance.

LTA: North-South Corridor works hit hard rock and water seepage at Novena, Thomson
Singapore's Land Transport Authority said tunnelling for the North-South Corridor has run into unexpected ground conditions at Novena and Thomson, including hard rock and underground water seepage. At Novena crews are digging the northbound tunnel section by section just 1m below the operating North-South MRT line, while in Thomson harder rock was found about 10m closer to the surface than expected. LTA said it is monitoring progress and will update the completion timeline later; the corridor was previously slated to open in phases from 2027.
