J103 - Hong Kah update Q3 2023

 

1 September 2023 - The sun breaking through the cloud cover over Hong Kah station in
Tengah New Town.

Hong Kah station is one of the stations along the Jurong Region Line (JRL)'s Phase 1 that is on the slower end of the progress spectrum. Over the past quarter, the station has been seemingly stuck in limbo with the first level station columns completed. The connecting beams that will support the second level - the concourse - should be the next step in construction. However there does not appear to be much progress on this front.
