The opening of a dedicated train testing facility in Tuas - the first of its kind in Southeast Asia - has been delayed by a year.
The Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC) is being built in two phases, and was slated to be fully operational by end-2024.
The first phase, which includes the construction of a high-speed test track, was supposed to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. It is now expected to be completed in 2023, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Friday.
Phase two, which involves the building of two other test tracks, workshops, an operations control centre and an administration building, will be ready only in 2025.
The ITTC is the latest rail project here to face setbacks.
Other rail projects, such as the Thomson-East Coast Line and Circle Line 6 (CCL6), were delayed by up to a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

CALLIGRAPHY IS BIG WITH ARTIST
The boulders hiding in the alcove of Tong Yang-tze's (right) Taipei apartment testify to this Taiwanese calligrapher's daunting perfectionism. They are paper - remnants of discarded artworks, crumpled together like used tissues and soaked into inky wads of pulp. Hundreds of old drafts of writing, including many of her efforts to draw Chinese poetry at a monumental scale, have been recycled into these rocks over the years, most recently as she worked on her commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which debuted on Nov 21.
