J109 - Jurong Town Hall update Q2 2023

 

20 May 2023

While work at contract J109's Jurong Town Hall station site has been progressing, the rate at which it has been doing so is a little slow. Over the past quarter - Q2 of 2023 - there have not been many noticeable differences. We begin our Q2 review of this Jurong Region Line (JRL) station with a look back at the site towards the end of Q1 to jog our memories on how the site looked then.

Work has progressed mostly at the station area. At the end of 2022, the beginnings of the station were only beginning to become apparent. With the footings completed, rebar installation work has gained some traction with the beams becoming more visible in comparison to the end of last year. Some diversion work has also commenced along Jurong Town Hall as work progresses beyond the station site.

will facilitate works in the road median.

May 2023 (Q2 2023)
Work at the station are has progressed with the casting of the beams at street level, further defining the station outline. At other areas along the contract, work has commenced on sheet piling for utility diversions and pier construction. Some evidence of the progress will become more apparent in time to come.

With works along Jurong Town Hall Road ramping up, it will not be too long before more viaduct piers join those under construction in altering the landscape. Do follow along as we bring you updates on the construction status in time to come.
