Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded three civil contracts valuated at SGD 596 million (USD 428.5 million) for the design and construction works of four Jurong Region Line (JRL) stations and their associated viaducts.
The first JRL contract, with a value of USD 123.6 million (SGD 172 million), was awarded to the Singapore’s branch of China Communications Construction Company. The contract comprises the design and construction of Boon Lay station and an 800m viaduct along Jurong West Street 64. It also includes addition and alteration works to the existing Boon Lay station on the East-West Line to provide a seamless connection to the new JRL station.
Singapore-based Sembcorp Design and Construction company has won the USD 163 million (SGD 226.6 million) contract for the design and construction of two stations (Gek Poh and Tawas stations) and two viaducts at a total length of 1.3 km. One will be constructed one along the Jurong West Street 75 and the other one, between the two stations.
Under these two contracts, the three stations are expected to be completed in 2026.
The third contract valued at USD 142 million (SGD 197.4 million) has been awarded to the Korea-based Daelim Industrial Co for the design and construction of Jurong East station and a 5m viaduct at the station. The contract also includes addition and alteration works to the existing Jurong East station on the North-South and East-West Lines, to integrate it with the new JRL station. The new station is expected to be completed in 2027.
In 2019, LTA awarded the contracts for the construction of 7 stations on JRL, including their viaducts.
The new line will be operated by 62 three-car driverless trains which will delivered by Hyundai Rotem under a USD 300.6 million contract.
JRL is the seventh MRT line in Singapore and will have a length of 24 km served by 24 elevated stations with three interchange stations. The new line will offer transport links in the western part of Singapore and will also provide the connections with the existing MRT system.
