Wow, we managed to do it - all 24 + 1 stations & 1 depot of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) across 3 phases and 14 civil contracts - here in our September snapshot. Our snapshot gives you a rather quick month by month update that is more brief and current than our quarterly updates which tend to be deep dives of the construction progress. Naturally, these tend to be a bit more dated. Nonetheless, we hope that you enjoy the September 2023 JRL snapshot.

Phase 1

Tengah depot (Contract J101)
In a nutshell: The site is in various stages of construction - some parts have structures, some parts are beginning to have structures and other parts have piles. A lot of work still going on and even more to go before the facility is ready to receive the rolling stock next year.

16 September 2023

JS1 - Choa Chu Kang (Contract J102)
In a nutshell: Works are continuing on viaduct piers as well as the station. Reconfiguration works on the southern end of the North-South Line station concourse continue, with work also visible at the platform extension. This area is likely to be used for additional plant rooms while the concourse area houses more shops.

24 September 2023

JS2 - Choa Chu Kang West (Contract J102)
In a nutshell: Casting works for the concourse slab crossheads have begun. More station piers are beginning to receive the same treatment, where scaffolding is being set up for concourse slab crosshead casting. Elsewhere, viaduct piers are also getting the crosshead treatment with several more now having the formwork being installed.

24 September 2023

JS2A - Forest Hill (Contract J102, provisional future station)
In a nutshell: This location is hard to see, but from what we can see, the trackbed or platform level appears to have some works being done.

24 September 2023

JS3 - Tengah (Contract J102)
In a nutshell: Another tricky location to view, viaduct works are approaching the station from the south. The double-decked viaduct section is beginning to see progress.

16 September 2023

JS4 - Hong Kah (Contract J103)
In a nutshell: It would appear that the ground/street-level columns are mostly completed now. Work has not yet begun on casting the concourse slab however.

In a nutshell: Casting for the concourse slab is underway. Some viaduct segmental box girders have been launched while a launch gantry awaits installation.

JS6 - Jurong West (Contract J105)
In a nutshell: Viaduct works are progressing further west, away from the station site and making good progress. At the station, precast T-beams have been installed to form the concourse slab. One can easily make out where the elevators and escalators will be installed.

In a nutshell: A new ramp has been put into use for access to a pedestrian overhead bridge above the Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

In a nutshell: Several viaduct piers are under construction. Bored piling continues at the station site.

16 September 2023
