J109 - Toh Guan year-end update

 

18 December 2022 - A view southwards to Jurong East station. The contract J109 work site will
extend all the way to the Jurong East junction where the contract splits to allow work under
contracts J120 and J110. It then resumes along Jurong Town Hall Road.

Toh Guan is the first of 3 stations to be built under contract J109. This contract in particular is a little peculiar, being split in the middle with contracts J120 and J110 for the construction of the Jurong East integrated transport hub & Jurong East interchange station respectively. Not entirely sure why the contract was packaged this way, but we're here for updates anyway. A recent road diversion in November has now paved the way for work on station foundations to commence once the former roadway can be cleared.

Work on the crossing over the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) has also been ongoing with piers on the northern side of the expressway taking shape. The median of the expressway has been cleared to make way for pier foundation works as well. Similar works are going on at the southern side of the PIE too with sheet piles being used to form a work platform against the slope at the site.

With the road median of Jurong East Central being expanded by pushing both carriageways further apart, a construction zone has been created. This will allow the contractor to begin clearing away the former roadway and works on the station's foundation can then begin. We expect that it will be similar to that at Gek Poh and Jurong West stations. Additionally, we understand that a potential use of pre-fabricated components may help to speed up construction at this station site.

With 2023 around the corner, works at the site are ramping up. Within the coming year, one should be able to see evidence of the rail line rising, literally, along the street. We look forward to the continued progress at the site and appreciate your following our updates of the various rail construction sites to close off 2022.
