Having explored the roads that the Jurong Region Line (JRL) may align with, here is our speculative map of the station locations. Once again, we reiterate that these station locations are part of our prediction based on available information and site conditions, not the final location or announcement by relevant authorities.

Roads JRL may align with - Jurong West & NTU branch

Previously we looked at how the Jurong Region Line (JRL) may weave its way through to Jurong East & West Coast. Today we look at how it would weave itself to its other 2 terminals - NTU and Jurong Industrial Estate.

In our previous post, we touched on the location shift of Choa Chu Kang bus interchange to make way for the Jurong Region Line (JRL) station. In this post, we explore the potential roads that the JRL may align with along the Jurong East & West Coast branch.

A recent contract has been called for the development of the Choa Chu Kang bus interchange on a new site behind Lot 1 shopping centre.

West Coast Extension

The Land Transport Authority announced the possibility of the Jurong Region Line being extended from the current planned terminus in the West Coast vicinity to connect with the Circle Line. This proposed extension has been suggested by multiple commuters to improve connectivity from the western region to the Central Business District and other areas via the completed Circle Line with stage 6 plugging the remaining gap. It is good news to know that the authorities see the wisdom in investing in this suggestion.

The extension would be approximately 5km long and potentially connect at Haw Par Villa station on the Circle Line. We expect that the extension should pass through the population centres along West Coast Road: West Coast Drive, West Coast Plaza, Clementi Woods, Kent Ridge terminal, Heng Mui Keng, Science Park II and Haw Par Villa for interchange to the Circle Line.

Jurong East

We have recently gotten information that the Jurong Region Line (JRL) will integrate with the North South and East West lines at Jurong East station. Additionally, the JRL station will be an elevated one that will feature connections to the existing MRT station. A new bus interchange will be developed on the site of the former Jurong East bus interchange before it was demolished.
