Unfortunately we didn't manage to squeeze in Defu station into our year-end recap for 2023 with the rest of the Cross Island Line (CRL) phase 1 stations. Nonetheless, better late than never, so here's our year-end recap for Defu station. Over 2023, the site was mobilised with road diversions being implemented and a work site created in the road median. The side platform station will sit here and a large diameter single bored tunnel connects the eastern end of the station box to a launch shaft near the end of Paya Lebar Air Base, under contract CR110.
