Rail Corridor (Singapore)

About

The Rail Corridor is a 24 kilometre-long greenway in Singapore created from sections of the former Singapore–Kranji Railway that once linked the island country to Peninsular Malaysia. After crossing the causeway, the railway ran south from Woodlands Train Checkpoint through Sungei Kadut before reaching Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah, which includes the site of the former Bukit Timah railway station. From there it passed through Queenstown and ended at Bukit Merah, the location of the former Tanjong Pagar railway station.

Most of this route was converted into the Rail Corridor after the tracks were removed. Although much of the trail follows the original alignment of the former railway, a stretch has been realigned to facilitate the construction of new water facilities in Kranji. In addition, there are temporary diversions along the route which support ongoing restoration efforts aimed at conserving bridges, stations and other historic elements, as well as facilitating nearby construction projects, including new residential developments. Another branch of the trail following the path of the former Jurong railway line began construction in early 2025, and will open progressively from end-2026.
