Sengkang West’s inner loop returned ahead of schedule
By OnTheRice · Sources and limitations · Report a correction
After more than five months of closure, LTA says the Sengkang West Inner Loop via Cheng Lim reopened at the start of service on 4 October, two weeks earlier than planned. A 6.01pm status snapshot listed the West Loop as normal, confirming service at that check, not proven reliability. LTA says the depot expansion remains on track for completion by 2027. For riders, the change is an earlier end to the shuttle-dependent phase. Next check: later service notices and any renewed shuttle-bus arrangements.
