CR109 - Tampines North Q1 2023 update

 

30 March 2023

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.
