Noise barriers to be installed along East-West MRT line

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will install noise barriers at three stretches of elevated train tracks at Tampines Street 21 (next to Block 296), Jurong East Street 13 (next to Block 110) and Toh Guan Road (next to Blk 266).

LTA said the noise barriers, which are expected to reduce noise levels from passing trains by at least 5 decibels, at Tampines and Jurong East are similar to those installed at the new viaduct at the Jurong East station.

Currently, the noise levels at Tampines St 21 and Jurong East St 13 are between 78 and 82 decibels.
