C883 - Cantonment 2022 year-end update

30 December 2022 - An overview of the station site.

Cantonment station, much like the others along Circle Line 6, has been under construction for several years now. As this section of the line passes through generally built up and sensitive sites, the stations are being built using a top-down approach. Unfortunately, this means that observing the works within the excavation site are not that easy with little visible changes viewable from the surface. The narrative here is no different - the surface-level site appears the same whilst there were some noticeable works to remove struts at one of the station exits along Spottiswoode Road.

visible.

Like neighbouring contract 885 for the construction of Prince Edward Road station, there isn't much visible progress at contract 886 for the cut & cover tunnels at Marina Bay. However, with the opening of the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) exits at Marina Bay station, we have discovered a new vantage point that allows views of the portion connecting to the existing Marina Bay station over run tunnels. Bits of the retaining wall can be viewed from the station exit here.

C885 - Prince Edward Road 2022 year-end update

 

21 November 2022 - A view of the excavation pit along Shenton Way.

It's been a while since we dropped by Prince Edward Road to check on progress. Things are coming along, but there is not much visible changes at street level. The work site is still filled with machinery performing their various tasks. There are no openings visible yet for station exits, ventilation buildings or cooling towers.
