It has been some time since we caught up and provided more detailed updates on the construction of some Cross Island Line (CRL) stations. We'll start off with some updates on Hougang, seeing how there has been an increase in activity over the past 2 months with the assembly and subsequent launching of the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) at the station site. More details after the jump!
