After the update on Bright Hill in the west, we swing back to the east with a whopping update on Pasir Ris. Works are in full swing with diaphragm walling works commencing in the west and soon to commence in the east of the site as well. Road diversions have been completed and an upcoming long-term road closure is in the works.

Contract CR117 was the last civil contract awarded for the Cross Island Line (CRL) phase 1, hence progress at the site is not as advanced as at other contracts awarded earlier, for instance Pasir Ris or Hougang. None the less, the site appears to have been cleared and preparatory works underway to commence earthwork for the construction of retaining walls.

We begin swinging to the eastern end of the Cross Island Line (CRL) phase 1, starting at Tampines North. The site has since been cleared and diaphragm wall works have commenced at the northern end of the station. Meanwhile other preparatory works are still going on further south in the station box.

It is great to see that diaphragm wall works have commenced at another station site besides Hougang station. Do stay tuned as we continue to provide updates on the different sites along CRL1.

Teck Ghee was the first station whose civil contract was awarded under contract N109A, which was bundled together with construction works for the North-South Expressway project. The expressway tunnels will eventually sit on top of the station's roof slab, with the concourse & platform located below. We checked out how things were progressing at the contract N109A site mid-March.

On 19th March, the team took some time to visit a few of the Cross Island Line (CRL) phase 1 sites to check in on how the sites have progressed. Similar to the updates on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) stages 4 and 5, we hope to do the same for the CRL 1 stations. We've kicked it off with some updates on Hougang and contract CR115's launch shaft, so here's an update for Ang Mo Kio.
