We're about 3/4's of the way through 2026. Our last full snapshot of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) was in March 2026, with only partial snapshot updates since. We tried hard through August and finally have an update covering the full line again. Along phase 1, the stations are beginning to receive their external facades and paneling that showcases the station liveries, giving each station its individual character. It appears that each station will utilise multiple colours, rather than a single colour unlike early stations along the MRT network (such as Clementi, Buona Vista, Commonwealth).

With station liveries beginning to appear, are you able to identify the various stations from the
colour schemes?

What do you think of the colours being used for the JRL stations? Were they what you had expected? Let us know in the comments section.

Elsewhere along the line, the number of contracts with remaining viaduct construction remained at 2 contracts - 1 each in phases 2 and 3. The rest of the contracts had viaduct construction works largely completed, with parapet walls installed and rails laid. We'll move onto the individual phases and look at the progress made in greater detail after the jump.

JRL2 - A snapshot in July 2026

July 2026 - An overview of the various stations and contracts under Phase 2 of the Jurong
Region Line.

The weather has been brutal lately - either very hot or very wet, making it somewhat difficult to step out and take photos of the Jurong Region Line (JRL)'s stations and viaducts under construction. Nonetheless, we've broken the usual snapshot update into a smaller, more manageable portion that we could handle while still giving you a worth while update on progress of the contracts making up Phase 2 of the line, due by end-2028. There are several key updates which we'll go through to keep you in the know on how the line is progressing.

JRL1 - A snapshot in May 2026

Overview of JRL Phase 1 stations JS1 - JS7 and JW1 - JW2 as of May 2026.

Middle (L - R): JS4 - Hong Kah, JS5 – Corporation, JS6 - Jurong West
Bottom (L - R): JS7 - Bahar Junction, JW1 - Gek Poh, JW2 - Tawas

Our last snapshot update for May 2026 cover phase 1 of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), since its been a while since we've checked in on progress there. With phase 1 due for opening in early 2028, the stations along this stretch are among the most advanced in construction phases. To date, 4 stations have been installed or are undergoing platform screen gate (PSG) installation. Track-related installation programme (TRIP) works are also in progress, covering noise barriers, signal installation and laying of electrical wiring along the viaducts. Find out more about the progress in 9 of the 10 stations after the jump.

WCE - First contract called

Last week, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) released the first contract under the Jurong Region Line (JRL)'s West Coast Extension (WCE) project. Contract W1007 is for the detection of utilities as a service, with an expected delivery date of September 2029.

How might the team know that this contract is related to the WCE? Thanks to @stormfire_transport, a long time follower of ours, we were made aware that at the beginning of the financial year, ministries may list indicative tenders that will be put up for bid throughout the year. It is from this listing that we saw 2 contracts for the WCE listed - W1005 & W1006. Contract W1005 would eventually be renumbered to W1007, which was first floated on 22 May 2026.

Screen capture of the Indicative Government Procurement Opportunities, where items 54 & 55
indicate the works being for the JRL WCE.

Thanks for catching us up on this Storm Fire! We appreciate the tip off. We thus have our first WCE contract put up for tender and can likely expect more such contracts to come.

This post will also be available on Instagram & Facebook at a later time.

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.
