The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is building the 4th and 5th Stages of Circle Line (CCL). These two stages will extend the CCL by another 17 kilometres and will stretch from Marymount Road to HarbourFront Centre.

There will be 13 stations. LTA will first build ten out of the 13 stations for CCL 4 & 5. 

They are generally located within developments such as HDB town centres, commercial hubs and locations that allow for integration with other rail lines. For example, the station at Buona Vista will be a major interchange station where commuters will be able to transfer from CCL to the East-West Line.

The station near Ayer Rajah Avenue will be the gateway to the exciting one-north development currently being planned by JTC Corporation. The station at Holland Road will serve the lively commercial and retail hub at the heart of Holland Village.

The three stations at Toa Payoh Rise, Jalan Mashor and West Coast Highway are earmarked as future stations. The areas around these three designated sites are not fully developed at the moment. These stations will therefore be built as and when developments around these stations take place. However, structural provisions will be made now so as to enable easy construction of the stations when they are finally built.

Like Stages 1, 2 and 3, all the stations of CCL Stages 4 & 5 will be underground. This is to minimise the impact on the environment and free up surface land for other use. No private land will be acquired for the construction of Stages 4 & 5.

Stages 4 and 5 of CCL will cost about $2.5 billion to build. Construction is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2004, and is targeted to be completed in 2010.
