As the name implies, it will be an orbital line linking all radial lines leading to the city, and also will cover many parts of the Central Area.

Despite the name, the Circle Line is not actually a full circle, as there will be no through service on the section between Harbourfront and Dhoby Ghaut. Passengers will need to transfer onto the North-East Line instead. A "Stage 6" that would complete the circle, perhaps passing through the Marina District, has been mooted but is not officially planned.

History

Plans for the Circle Line date back to the 1980s. Then Minister for Communications and Information Dr Yeo Ning Hong stated that such a system "would be feasible when the population reaches four million". Year 1980 (MCMLXXX) was a leap year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1980 Gregorian calendar). ...


In the 1990s, the Circle Line was first known as the Marina Line. The Marina Line was initially planned as a 12-station underground line, starting from Chinatown and Dhoby Ghaut to the National Stadium. However, the Chinatown leg was later truncated and was reduced to 6 stations up to Stadium station. On the other hand, a further extension towards Upper Paya Lebar was added. Eventually, the Marina line ended up as an inner circular line. The Marina Line was originally slated for completion in 2006. This article is about the year. ...

Circle Line stations that were a part of the original Marina Line plans include Dhoby Ghaut, Bras Basah, Esplanade, Promenade, Nicoll Highway and Stadium.

It is widely expected to have a Stage 6 which completes the circle from HarbourFront to Promenade stations. On 27 April 2007, the LTA announced an extension of a branch line from Promenade to Bayfront station, which may be the first segment of the line's final stage.[2] Later, contractual details revealed possible extension to the Marina Bay Station.[3] On 25 January 2008, Minister for Transport, Mr Raymond Lim, confirmed the extension of the line from Bayfront Station to Marina Bay Station, scheduled to open in 2012. He also revealed the decision to open both Thomson, and West Coast stations, initially planned as shell stations, together with the whole line, leaving only Bukit Brown Station remaining closed when the line opens.[4] is the 117th day of the year (118th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Nicoll Highway collapse

Main article: Nicoll Highway collapse

On April 20, 2004, a section of tunnel being built for the Circle Line collapsed, apparently when a retaining wall used in the tunnel's construction gave way. This occurred near what was to become the Nicoll Highway station on the Circle line, not far from the Merdeka Bridge. The accident left a collapse zone 150m wide, 100m long, and 30m deep. Three workers were killed, one was missing and presumed dead with three more injured. News clipping from The Straits Times The Nicoll Highway collapse was a construction accident that occurred at approximately 3. ... is the 110th day of the year (111th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A criminal inquiry found the main contractor Nishimatsu Construction Company and its officers, as well as key Land Transport Authority officers responsible for the collapse. Several other officers and subcontractors were reprimanded and issued warnings in connection with the accident. The Land Transport Authority (Abbreviation: LTA; Chinese: 陆路交通管理局; Malay: Penguasa Pengangkutan Darat) of Singapore is a statutory board of the Ministry of Transport. ... A subcontractor is an individual or in many cases a business that signs a contract to perform part or all of the obligations of anothers contract. ...


As a result of this accident, the first phase of the Circle Line, previously scheduled to open in 2008, will be completed in 2010 instead. The affected station has been shifted about 100m away from the accident site and is now located at Republic Avenue. 2010 (MMX) will be a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The completed line will reduce travelling time for commuters by allowing them to shorten trips between north to east or north to west and vice versa, bypassing busy interchanges like City Hall and Raffles Place.

The project will be implemented in five stages at an estimated cost of S$6.66 billion. Originally scheduled to be opened from 2008 and fully opened in 2010, the Nicoll Highway collapse caused the construction of the line to be delayed. As a result, the Circle Line is now targeted to open from 2009, and expected to be fully operational by 2011, excluding the Marina Bay Extension. 2008 (MMVIII) is the current year, a leap year that started on Tuesday of the Anno Domini (or common era), in accordance to the Gregorian calendar. ... 2010 (MMX) will be a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ... News clipping from The Straits Times The Nicoll Highway collapse was a construction accident that occurred at approximately 3. ... 2009 (MMIX) will be a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2011 (MMXI) will be a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


Based on a report on progress of the construction on 14 September 2007, LTA revealed that the cost of the Circle Line will exceed its original budget of S$6.68 billion. The increase was due mainly to the increase in the prices of sand and granite and thus concrete.


A number of stations such as Dhoby Ghaut, Bras Basah, Esplanade and Promenade will likely be handed over to SMRT, the operator of Circle Line by the end of 2007. Mr Raymond Lim, Minister for Transport, during a speech on 25 January 2008, announced that Stage 3 of Circle Line, stretching from Bartley to Marymount, will open from mid-2009.[4]


Due to the re-alignment of the Nicoll Highway station to a new location, the station will be two third the size of the original plan before the collapse, and located 100 metres away from the highway collapse site.[5]
