SINGAPORE - The Land Transport Authority (LTA) on 30th September 2022, awarded the contract for the design & construction of Riviera station and associated tunnels to a joint venture of Taisei & China State Construction Engineering. The contract, P103, includes the construction of a large diameter single bored tube tunnel from Elias to Punggol station, a length of approximately 4.3km. The LTA has assured the public that steps will be taken to ensure that works are done with safety at the forefront.

Contract P103 is the first of 3 contracts to be awarded for the Cross Island Line Punggol Extension (CPE) and was also the first of the contracts to be tendered. Neighbouring contracts P105 for the construction of Punggol interchange station and P102 for the construction of Elias station & tunnels towards Pasir Ris will bring the CPE to completion once awarded.
Do stay tuned as we bring further updates once construction commences next year.

Actually, they can just use another name for that MRT station. No need to name after a nearby LRT station, where most people won't even connect to the MRT via that LRT station, or vice versa; most probably will connect via the local bus network instead, which would be more convenient.
ReplyDeleteI prefer that both have the same name as each other. Weird for them to be named differently.
