The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded to Nishimatsu Construction Co Ltd - Okumura Corporation Singapore Branch Joint Venture the EUR166.93 million (SGD242 million) civil contract for the design and construction of tunnels between the West Coast station (CR18) and Jurong Lake District station (CR19) (working names) for Cross Island Line (CRL) Phase 2

This contract encompasses the construction of twin bored tunnels, each extending 2.4 km beneath the Sungei Pandan canal and key infrastructure such as the West Coast Highway and Ayer Rajah Expressway. These tunnels are projected to reach depths of up to 40 m, surpassing the typical 30-m depth for other stations. The ground conditions in this area predominantly consist of weathered soil and hard sedimentary rock.   Real-time monitoring and safety measures will be implemented during the tunnelling works.  LTA and the contractors  will implement necessary mitigation measures to ensure ground stability and safe construction and minimise impact on nearby stakeholders and infrastructure.

Construction works are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2024 and passenger service for CRL Phase 2 is targeted to commence in 2032. Visit https://www.gebiz.gov.sg/ and https://www.lta.gov.sg/.  Bid n. LTA000ETT23000080, Ref.n.CR210. 25/24.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) - Obayashi Corporation Joint Venture the EUR 365.52 million (SGD530 million) civil contract for the design and construction of CR14 Turf City station (working name) and tunnels under the Cross Island Line Phase 2 (CRL2). 

CR14 station is an underground station located along Turf Club Road, near the former Grandstand. The construction works are expected to be challenging due to the varying soil conditions in the area, in particular the harder ground conditions of the Bukit Timah granite formation which requires the use of specialised techniques to carry out excavation works safely. Before commencing excavation and construction works for the station structure, earth retaining and stabilising structures will be installed to ensure safety and ground stability.  LTA and the contractors will monitor works closely and implement necessary mitigation measures to ensure safe construction with minimal impact to nearby stakeholders and infrastructure. 

Construction works for the CR14 station are expected to start in the third quarter of 2024, and passenger service for CRL Phase 2 is targeted to commence in 2032.
