CCL6 - A snapshot in June 2025

An overview of the 3 stations under CCL6 in June 2025.

With the Circle Line stage 6 (CCL6) section targeted for completion in the first half of 2026, we took the opportunity to check in on progress made on the 3 new stations along the 4km link. Works at the three stations are in the semi-final stages, with structural works since completed and installation of architectural finishings underway. Commuter facilities such as sheltered bus stops and pick-up/drop-off points are being constructed to support connectivity at the stations. Join us as we take a better look at all the progress made thus far after the jump.

With the Circle Line stage 6 (CCL6) due to open by the first half of 2026, we're about a year and a half away from the section's completion. Most of the stations' exits have had the roof structures installed and works were transitioning towards the completion of architectural, mechanical & electrical components. We take a closer look at the progress made at the various stations and sites along the project after the jump.

CCL6 - A snapshot in October 2024

Looks like it has been some time since we made an update on Circle Line stage 6 (CCL6). Since our last update the most significant milestone would be the decommissioning of the temporary staging area for trackworks - more on that later. The various stations also have seen installation of escalators completed at 8 of the eligible exits, while the remaining exit will feature lift-only access.

Over August 2024, progress at the Circle Line 6 sites has seen work commence or continue on the roof of 7 of the 9 station exits. At this point, escalators had been installed in 7 of the 8 exits requiring their use as well. Additionally, noise barriers had begun to be taken down at Prince Edward Road, following similar works at Keppel before. More details after the jump.

Works for the Circle Line (CCL)'s Stage 6 main line continues to advance. In July, headway was made through the installation of escalators at Keppel station, the casting of roof slabs for Exits 1 & 2 at Cantonment station and the installation of metal roof frames at Prince Edward Road station. Over at the site of the cut & cover tunnels, work continued ahead of the eventual reinstatement of the roads in the vicinity.

In the three months since our last visit to Prince Edward Road station, the escalators have been installed at the two station exits. The ventilation shaft and cooling tower buildings have also made progress with most of the structures completed. We take a quick look at the progress made over the past 3 months in this post.

It's been a while since we caught up with the progress being made over at the Circle Line 6 stations. As such, we're bring you an early update on the goings on in the early part of May, since our last update on the section was in February.

Works at Prince Edward Road station have been progressing with more of the surface structures of the station becoming visible. Eventually, there will be approximately 3 ancillary buildings for ventilation & cooling towers, in addition to the station's 2 exits. In addition, there is also a mid-tunnel emergency exit along Keppel Road that has since taken shape. This exit would allow for evacuation from the stacked bored tunnels that run between Prince Edward Road and Cantonment stations in the event of an emergency. There are similar exits located along the Circle Line, such as on either side of the Kallang Basin and near Promenade before the line crosses over Marina Bay.

It has been a big year for the Circle Line 6 (CCL6) project with the station structures of the 3 new stations now substantially complete. We take a look back at the progress made over the year, comparing the sites as of Q4 to the end of 2022 or earlier in 2023. Do head on after the jump for pictures.

CCL6 Newsletter 2023

 

Today, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) released the fifth Circle Line 6 newsletter. In this edition, maps featuring the stations renumbered exits were included in. Several small general updates are also provided within. In summary, station structural works are substantially completed with the works now shifting towards the construction of station exits at street level, the architectural components and mechanical installations.

You can read the newsletter here.

This is a blog-only post.

C885 - Prince Edward Road update October 2023

 

14 October 2023 - An aerial view of the Prince Edward Road station site.

Recently the SGMC team visited the Westin Hotel and took in a bit of a view of the downtown area. We had the opportunity to admire the views of Prince Edward Road. It seems that they have since completed the station roof slab and covered up most of the underground structures. Some surface-level elements are now becoming more apparent. But we'll let the pictures do the talking.

In early August, we managed to get some incredible views of the Prince Edward Road station site from the Westin Hotel's lobby at level 32. Overlooking the western downtown area, the lobby provided the perfect vantage point. Here's our pictorial update for the site as of early-August.

With the Circle Line (CCL) stage 6 being only 3 stations in length, this is the final update for Q2 of 2023 for this extension project. Once again, Seloloving has kindly provided us with these images for our use in the update - thank you and very much appreciated.

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.

Wow, is it hard to get a shot of this station. Unless you're up on a double decker bus on the expressway, there doesn't seem to be much you can capture of it. So that's what we did to try to get a shot of this elusive station.

CCL6 Newsletters by LTA

Did you know that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been releasing several newsletters on the Circle Line 6 (CCL6) project since 2019? Well, neither did we! Nonetheless, we managed to get the digital copies of the 4 newsletters produced to date.

June 2019 - Prince Edward Road station progress

Prince Edward Road station is located in an extremely tight location bounded by Shenton Way to the west, the Marina Coastal Expressway to the south and the Bestway building to the north-east. Several religious buildings dot the site, making it a tough fit to construct a station in the location while being able to maneuver machinery about the site.

Circle Line 6 Project Information Centre

Recently Minister for Transport Mr. Khaw Boon Wan shared a post introducing the Circle Line 6 Project Information Centre (PIC) which was officially opened. The Project Information Centre is located along Spottiswoode Road in front of the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and is open to the public on a walk-in basis, unlike some other centres which require prior bookings and arrangements (for example the Thomson-East Coast Line stage 3 PIC at Orchard station).
