Quite some time has passed since our last Snapshot update of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) in November last year. Since then, we've had news that phase 1 of the line will only complete 6 months later than intended and the shell station JS2A will be built by the 2030's. Despite the news of the change in timeline for revenue operations, the contractors have been hard at work in between our updates and it is clear that they are pushing hard to complete the line. Things were getting exciting along the first phase of the line. We'll unpack all the updates after the jump.


Viaduct span construction works have been completed for all contracts except at J109 and J112. With this, approximately 85% of the viaduct spans have been completed. Interestingly, both contracts J109 and J112 have several piers remaining to be constructed, although all viaduct pier columns constructed for J109. J112 on the other hand, still has several viaduct piers to be constructed in their entirety as we'll see in this post.

What is JS2A?

 What is JS2A? Where is JS2A? What is the current status of the station? These are some questions you may have arising out of the Committee of Supply 2026 announcements from the Ministry of Transport today. During the Parliament session, Acting Minister for Transport, Mr. Jeffrey Siow, announced that a new station will be added to the Jurong Region Line (JRL) - JS2A. The station's history is much more complicated though.

Happy New Year 2026! (JRL version)

Happy New Year! We hope that your 2026 will be a bright & incredible year for you. The team was rather busy through 2025, especially during the last few months of the year. We weren't able to compile a Snapshot feature to close the year off for updates on the Jurong Region Line (JRL), but will be working to make one happen for this month's progress. To make up for the lack of a Snapshot update though, here are some images that we've come across that may interest you.
