J112 - Jurong Hill & Jurong Pier update Q3 2023

 

Station work sites under contract J112 as at end-Q3, in September 2023.

We're almost there at the end of our Q3 updates for the Jurong Region Line (JRL). To finish off the phase 3 southern section update, we're at contract J112 which includes the construction of Jurong Hill and Jurong Pier stations. Over the past quarter, some of the permanent structures for the line could be seen emerging. Do head on after the jump to find out more, promise that we'll keep this brief.

JS11 - Jurong Hill
Progress at the site has been focused on preparing the location for major works to come. With the former pedestrian overhead bridge out of the way since Q2, works shifted to preparations for the road diversion to allow more space for equipment to move into the site in the road median. Over the next quarter, we expect piling work to commence proper.

JS12 - Jurong Pier
Over Q3, it was noted that the base of some of the station's pier columns had been cast. The concrete footings and rebar for the upward connections could be seen at the station site. The area where an exit, connected to the station building via an underpass, is to be located was observed to be cleared of vegetation. Further north along Jurong Pier Road, work was also underway for preparation of viaduct pier construction.
