J102 - Choa Chu Kang West diversions

4 September 2022 - A view westwards of Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3.

Also under contract J102 is neighbouring station Choa Chu Kang West. Located along Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3, works have been on-going to shift the carriageways apart to allow work to commence in the road median. Most of the viaduct piers will be located here, with the exception of a few portal piers (piers that straddle either side of the road and use a horizontal beam in between to support the viaduct). The station will also be located in the road median, offering access to either side of the road via linkbridge - akin to stations like Clementi, Dover, Commonwealth and Queenstown on the East-West Line.

It has been a while since we've come to Choa Chu Kang and things are progressing fairly well. Foundation works are well under way at the station site where 2 new island platforms are being tacked on to the existing station for the Jurong Region Line (JRL) and to facilitate cross-platform transfers to the southbound North-South Line (NSL) track. Further along, work is also underway for the foundations of the piers towards Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3.

Inaugural JRL newsletter - Issue 01 May 2022

Recently, we came across several renders of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) stations that we hadn't seen before. These were released by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) & JRL Contractors as part of their Project Information Panels and also an inaugural e-newsletter for JRL (read it here). Typically these panels are found at Project Information Centres (PICs), but we have noted that there is no news of any PIC for the JRL although we had heard that there might potentially have been one located at the Boon Lay offices. Nonetheless, its been quiet on that front.

Recently we came across several new renders of the JRL stations along phase 3. Here's a compilation of all the renders for the phase 3 stations that we've managed to accumulate over time. New renders are available for practically all the stations in this phase.

We hope that you've enjoyed our previous post on the renders of the phase 1 stations of the Jurong Region Line (JRL). We're back with more now, this time for phase 2 which will run towards mega-hub Jurong East and onwards to the Pandan Reservoir.

Recently we came across some new renders of the stations along the Jurong Region Line (JRL). We thought it would be fitting to do a re-post of all the renders we've amassed thus far. Do stay tuned as we'll let you know where we got the new renders from after the phase 3 batch.
