| A view of Riviera and Punggol Cross Island Line station sites in February 2025. |
Work is well underway for the construction of the Cross Island Line - Punggol Extension (CPE) which will see the line connecting Punggol and Pasir Ris stations via a branch of the Cross Island Line (CRL). Tunneling work for the majority of the alignment will be completed by a large diameter tunnel boring machine (TBM) - named Elizabeth - from a launch shaft just next to Pasir Ris Camp. Two drives will be used, one westwards ending at Punggol and a second eastwards, ending at Elias station. Before the arrival of TBM Elizabeth, ground improvement works were being carried out along Punggol Central. Diaphragm wall construction at the two station within Punggol were also well underway ahead of the TBM's arrival in a few years' time. More details on the works taking place after the jump.
