We hope that you've enjoyed our previous post on the renders of the phase 1 stations of the Jurong Region Line (JRL). We're back with more now, this time for phase 2 which will run towards mega-hub Jurong East and onwards to the Pandan Reservoir.

As it has been approximately 4 years since the Jurong Region Line (JRL)'s final alignment was announced to the public in May 2018, several images of the stations have been made available showing the minor details that distinguish each station from another. Whilst using a basic design skeleton that features a vaulted roof supported along the sides by several columns, each station manages to retain some level of individuality. Several videos have since allowed us to catch a glimpse of the designs of the upcoming stations.

Contract tendering update - J102, J103, J110 & J106

The contract tendering process for the Jurong Region Line (JRL) civil contracts began last October with the release of tender for contract J101 for the construction of the depot to be located in Tengah. Since then numerous other tenders have been floated, of which the tenders for 3 contracts have been closed - contracts J102, J103 and J110.

Contract J102 is for the construction of Choa Chu Kang, Choa Chu Kang West and Tengah stations on the JRL. It also includes addition & alteration (A&A) works to the existing Choa Chu Kang station on the North South Line. Tender for this contract closed on 22 February and a total of 10 contractors have made bids.

Station renders

Usually when a new MRT line is announced, the Land Transport Authority releases information to the press along with a few renders of how the stations would look. These offer perspectives of how the stations would integrate into the environments and allow the public something to look forward to. However, this was not the case for the Jurong Region Line (JRL) during its announcement. Nonetheless, we have looked around and found several renders that showcase the stations' designs.
