According to a new circular seen, viaduct protection works are to be carried out at both ends of Pasir Ris East-West Line station from 17 May 2022. These will help to facilitate the platform extension works in preparation for converting the station into an interchange with paid links from platform level to the transfer level of the upcoming Cross Island Line station.

Last week, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) released a video on the construction works on-going for Teck Ghee MRT station. Works at Teck Ghee have been going-on for some time now owing to the complexity of the site due to the Cross Island Line (CRL) station being co-located underneath the upcoming North South Expressway tunnels. As such, construction works for the station were tendered under the North South Corridor project as opposed to being awarded with the rest of the CRL contracts. Consequentially, the works have progressed the furthest along as well. However, as the video for Teck Ghee station was uploaded on the same day as another video featuring Ang Mo Kio station, most viewers seem to have missed out on this video in particular.

In view that the awarding of contracts took the span of a year to complete, various station sites are at various stages of works.
