J111 - Enterprise & Tukang update Q3 2023

 

A compilation of stations under contract J111 under construction in September 2023.

Phase 3 of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) traverses the industrial estates to the south and technological/educational districts to the north. As such, the section to the south is generally less interesting given that the line runs in the road median for the most part. Also given that Phase 3 has a later target revenue operations date of 2028, works are not in as advanced a stage as compared to those along Phases 1 & 2. Nonetheless, certain sections of the line had begun showing visible progress within Q3. Most notably of the southern section, the contract boundary between contracts J106 and J111 is of interest.
