Things have changed slightly since our last visit to the Tampines North station site. The presence of soil investigation rigs indicate that construction works are almost ready to commence. Drainage has been laid on site as well along the rough outline of the future Tampines Avenue 11 which will be extended northwards. The station will lie beneath this roadway.

CHANGI SOUTH, SINGAPORE - On 20th September, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) unveiled the second phase of the hotly anticipated Cross Island Line (CRL). CRL2 will span 15km, connecting to the first phase at Bright Hill and ending at the Jurong Lake District. Along the way, the line crosses with the Downtown Line (DTL) & East-West Line (EWL), offering commuters an alternative route between the east and west.
The Land Transport Authority this morning released a new video flythrough of Hougang interchange station. The overview shows how the new Cross Island Line (CRL) station will connect with the existing North East Line (NEL) station through a new paid transfer link as well as new exits, including a co-located exit at the current exit A.
Kindly note that this post is extremely image-heavy.
