  "account": "The North-South Corridor delay has not left affected businesses and residents to fend for themselves, Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow stated in parliament on Tuesday, Oct 6. Several MPs inquired about the impact of the delay on their constituents, particularly affected businesses in HDB rental shops. Despite the government's stance against compensating stakeholders for project delays, Siow assured that HDB will continue to extend rental rebates where justified. The viaduct section from Admiralty Road West to Lentor Avenue and the tunnel section from Lentor Avenue to East Coast Parkway are now expected to open in phases from 2029 and 2031, respectively. The transport minister emphasized that most major structural works causing noise and dust should be completed by the end of 2027, after which the restoration of roads, footpaths, and other affected spaces will commence by 2028. Siow also highlighted the government's efforts to prioritize the completion of surface works and provide guidance for businesses along the construction route through signposts and banners.",
