The MRTA has cancelled the tender for the MRT Orange Line western ext after the BTSC court challenge. A new tender will be issued in the next few months. Another unfortunate delay for this ext which was originally scheduled to be tendered in 2018 before the gov decided to delay and proceed with a PPP tender. This delay will probably end up adding nearly another year as it is doubtful that construction will start before Q4 2021 assuming that the new tender proceeds smoothly.
