As our previous post was getting rather long, we decided to split up the updates for easier readability. This section will cover updates on contract J109, the second contract under phase 2 of the Jurong Region Line (JRL). Contract J109 was won by Daewoo - Yongnam joint venture and involves the construction of Toh Guan, Jurong Town Hall & Pandan Reservoir stations. Interestingly this contract is split into 2 sectors located north and south of Jurong East interchange which will be built under a separate contract, being contract J110 won by Daelim.


Contract J109 - JE4 Toh Guan
This part of the contract shows the most significant visible progress work. Connecting to the neighbouring J108 contract at Bukit Batok Sensory Park, clearing work is underway. Several trees have been cleared to make way for the eventual viaduct alignment.

Contract J109 - JE6 Jurong Town Hall
Jurong Town Hall station is sited opposite the International Business Park. A small area of pavement has been diverted, likely to make way for the construction of a site entrance. Apart from this several soil investigation rigs can be seen near the bus stop at the station site. There are no other visible construction works at this southern section of the contract for the moment.
