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

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.

J112 - Jurong Hill & Jurong Pier update Q1 2024

Continuing on with our Q1 update of phase of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), we come to contract J112. This contract involves the construction of 2 stations at Jurong Hill and Jurong Pier, a road underpass connecting Jalan Boon Lay and Jurong Pier Road & associated JRL viaducts. We take a deeper look at the progress made over the first quarter in this post.

May has been a busy month for the various contracts of the Jurong Region Line (JRL). Each of the contracts has seen progress made with things beginning to pick up speed over at phase 1 of the line. Some changes are more visible than others and we're here to provide you with an extensive low-down of all the progress made. Loads of images after the jump for this month's update.

J111 - Enterprise & Tukang update Q1 2024

Phase 3 of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) is probably one of the least inspiring sections due to its remote location in serving largely industrial areas. Nonetheless, we'll breeze through an update on this section for you to get an idea of how works are coming along on the southern section. Kicking off our phase 3 updates for Q1 2024 is none other than contract J111 for the construction of Enterprise and Tukang stations. Thus far, all the action seems to be taking place at Enterprise station with the viaduct pier columns becoming visible here while Tukang station still tackles bored piling works - rather, well, boring.

J110 & J120 - Jurong East & ITH update Q1 2024

18 March 2024 - A view of the contract J120 viaducts as at end-Q1 2024.

The section of Jurong Region Line (JRL) near Jurong East is being constructed under 2 contracts connected to contract J109 on either end. Jurong East station is being built under contract J110 while the Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) and associated viaducts are being built under contract J120. Through Q1 both contracts have seen the casting of various sections of the project under their care. We take a closer look at the progress made over Q1 in this update.
