There has been a lot of work going on at Choa Chu Kang station ahead of the Jurong Region Line (JRL)'s arrival in 2027. All these works will serve to allow the station to increase its capacity for handling commuter traffic. What are the works taking place and how will these help to increase the station's capacity you may ask? We're here to break it down so that you'll be able to better understand the ongoing works.

Modification works at Choa Chu Kang station entail the following:

• Demolition of former Exit D & using this area for an expanded concourse fare paid area linking the North-South Line (NSL) & JRL
• Construction of a second lift to serve the existing NSL platform
• Addition of new mezzanine level on the northern side of the station to facilitate transfers between NSL & JRL
• Demolition, replacement & reconfiguration of existing escalators & staircases connecting NSL concourse & platform levels
• Expansion of existing mezzanine level on southern side of the station to facilitate transfers between NSL, JRL & BPLRT
• Reconfiguration of existing fare gate layout from one fare line to 3 fare lines
• Reconfiguration of circulation spaces within fare paid & fare unpaid areas of the NSL station concourse
• Reconfiguration of retail outlets within NSL station
• Relocation of passenger service centre for NSL station

J113 & J115A - Nanyang Gateway, Nanyang Crescent & Peng Kang Hill update Q1 2024

A view of the 3 NTU stations part of the JRL's phase 3 northern section as at end-Q1 2024.

To complete our Q1 updates of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), we're at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) where the line's northern section of phase 3 is located. Consisting of 2 contracts covering 3 stations, this section was awarded entirely to Hwa Seng Builders, greatly simplifying the works required by using only a single contractor for the entirety of the works. Equipment can be shared and the contractor can better control construction traffic entering & exiting the university.
