It's been a while since we've had an update on the progress of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), so what better way to kick off 2024 than with a snapshot update? We bring you a concise look at all the changes that have taken place over the past month along the JRL network.
Phase 1
Tengah depot (Contract J101)
In a nutshell: Work has progressed with several buildings having since come up. The structure for the stabling building is in progress, as is the workshop. Two load centres for power supply are the furthest along in progress and a bin centre is coming up as well. The layout of the concrete trackbeds within the depot are becoming apparent and further layers will be laid atop at a later stage.

JS1 - Choa Chu Kang (Contract J102)
In a nutshell: Work has progressed to the platform level. The trackbeds for the JRL tracks has become more obvious. Construction of viaduct piers near Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4 are in progress with excavation to expose the top of the foundation piles for the creation of the pile cap. Near a portion of the existing North-South Line (NSL) tracks, viaduct segment launching has begun with 4 segments now bonded to the first pier. Modification work at the existing NSL station is taking place as well. |

The concourse level crossheads are almost complete for all the station piers as well. Further along, viaduct piers are taking shape with a series of 4 portal piers likely to have the portal beam built this year. |

In a nutshell: The structure for the future infill station can be clearly seen now with the trackbeds for both bounds completed. Launch gantry Mulan has made quick work of putting together the viaduct spans for the Jurong Pier-bound track that now connects to the future infill station structure itself. Work is continuing at the junction with Brickland Road to construct the special span crossing.

Jurong West (Contract J105)
In a nutshell: Works have progressed well for the concourse slab with the openings clearly visible for lifts and escalators to be installed. The next step will be the casting of the concourse level columns that will support the platform level above. Viaduct construction works continue to push towards the junction with Jalan Bahar and Jalan Boon Lay. However, the viaduct piers here will need to complete the construction of the portal beam on either side of the junction before viaduct span construction can continue.

Currently, only columns along the northern edge of the station are cast while those along the southern edge are still a work in progress. Further east, we see the first viaduct with crosshead ready, with others to follow.

Tracks through Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub
(Contract J120)
In a
nutshell: The first viaduct spans for the tracks running through the future ITH building were cast and the formwork has been removed, exposing the newly cast spans. The fact that this structure is complete way ahead of J109 and J110's viaduct spans in the same area make this a unique sight indeed!
