We have for some time known that the Cross Island Line (CRL)'s western terminus will be located at Gul Circle station. Previously, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) had released some images on its websites during the period when engagement was ongoing for the Long Term Plan Review, the lead up to the development of the URA Draft Masterplan 2025. In particular, the above image was released which gave details on the likely location of the CRL3 Gul Circle station. We saved the image, a fortunate move, as the image was since replaced with the CRL indicative location and mention since removed.

Soil Investigation: Gul Circle

Near the newly opened Gul Circle station, a string of soil investigation boreholes line the road after which the MRT station along the East West Line obtained its name. The boreholes seem to have largely been dug over several months in 2017 stretching from one end of Gul Circle near Tuas Road all the way to the other end near Benoi Road.
