Its the middle of the year and time to check in on progress made along the Jurong Region Line (JRL). Some important milestones have been made through the past month & the first half of the year, which include the completion of viaduct span construction on 80% of the phase 1 contracts and commencement of track laying works at all phase 1 temporary staging areas (TSAs). Join us for a round up of all the progress made across the line in the past month after the jump.

Before we know it, May has come and gone. Perhaps the month felt a little shorter due to the vacation that some of us took during the month. That said, the heat has been relentless over the past month. We're sure that the contractors on the Jurong Region Line (JRL) would have been feeling that - figuratively & literally. The good news is that there has been a significant amount of promising progress made through the various contracts. We'll take a look at this is slightly greater detail after the jump.

April has come upon us so quickly that we've had to rush to get this one out. There's been lots of progress made on the line with several milestones hit - including trackworks commencing on a new section of the line. With roof works underway across the entire phase 1 and viaducts coming together progressively over phase 2, we'll go through the accomplishments of each phase in greater detail after the jump.

J106 - An update in Q1 2025

A lot has been happening at Boon Lay station on the East-West Line (EWL) as it prepares to be upgraded into an interchange with the upcoming Jurong Region Line (JRL). In addition to the new station being built, the existing station is undergoing several changes to cope with the increased passenger loads and commuter traffic. These works are being carried out under contract J106 which oversees the construction of the new station as well as the addition & alteration works to the existing EWL station. Milestones hit by the contract this past quarter include the completion of the roof frame installation, commencement of the construction of a replacement staircase within the existing station and the beginning of reinstatement works along Jurong West Street 64. We'll explore all these in greater detail after the jump.

J105 - An update in Q1 2025

The two station sites under contract J105 towards the end of Q1 2025.

Through Q1 2025, works under contract J105 have plodded along at the Jurong West and Bahar Junction station sites. Key milestones under the Jurong Region Line (JRL) contract include the commencement of exit podium works at both stations, the commencement of escalator installation works at Bahar Junction station and continued progress on viaduct span construction. We'll take a closer look at the achievements made after the jump.

J103 - An update in Q1 2025

The two stations being constructed under contract J103 in end-Q1 2025.

Contract J103 is a critical contract in the construction of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), owing that this contract is responsible for the construction of the reception tracks that connect the depot to the mainline. Without this critical connection, trains from the depot will not be able to access the main line for testing or for revenue service. Works through the past quarter have seen some milestones being achieved - namely the semi-completion of the main line viaduct span across the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), the commencement of escalator installation at both stations under the contract as well as interior fit out works taking place. We'll go through these developments in greater detail after the jump.

J102 - An update in Q1 2025

We're moving onto recapping the Q1 2025 progress of contract J102, awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. This contract of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) saw several key milestones being hit this past quarter, including but not limited to completion of viaduct segment launching, the commencement of roof frame installation works at the stations and the installation of escalators within the stations. We'll cover these in greater detail as we look at each station site closer.
