Despite only being a few kilometres apart, a Singapore to Malaysia road trip can take hours, but the construction of a new A$4.6 billion rail bridge should cut the journey time to minutes.
Malaysia's Transport minister Anthony Loke says he is confident the timeline for completion will be met: "We are 100 per cent confident that the RTS Link project will be completed and operational by January 1, 2027," he said recently.
It is envisaged the link will carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with four-carriage trains every 3.6 minutes at peak times.
