If you're a nature lover, here's some good news: The Rail Corridor (Central), which has been closed for trail enhancement works since July 2019, just reopened on Monday (March 22).

Spanning the distance between The Rail Mall and the conserved Bukit Timah Railway Station, this 4km green corridor now has eight access points, which offer better accessibility for visitors while simulating the timber sleepers used in the old railway track to retain the trail's rustic look.
