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.

The site spans along Sin Ming Avenue, running parallel to the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio park. At the eastern end, it is expected that a launch shaft will be built for the tunnel boring machines (TBM) to begin drilling their way to Teck Ghee station. To do so, they will have to go underneath the Eunoia Junior College building which had no-pile zones incorporated into its design during construction. This leaves an obstruction-free zone for the TBMs to tunnel through without affecting the building severely.
Work will continue to pick up as time goes along, hence do stay tuned as we provide more updates in time to come.
