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.

The last contract along the Circle Line 6 (CCL6) mainline is contract 886 for the construction of cut & cover tunnels between Prince Edward Road and Marina Bay stations. Work here has been swiftly completed with the backfilling works done. Trackworks are also progressing well within the Temporary Staging Area (TSA), located at the turnback tunnel.

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.

the old railway station fully reinstated to their original positions.

In the three months since our last visit to Cantonment station, there have been several changes. First of all, the platform canopies for the former railway station's platforms have been moved back into their original positions entirely. Secondly, the cooling tower structure is taking place with the metal frame for the louvres and roof put in place. And thirdly, the street-level surface structures of the various exits are beginning to take shape. We delve into the progress made in greater detail in this post.

 Three months since we last checked in at Keppel station, things have progressed - as they rightly should. Backfilling works of the station site were completed with several of the street level surface structures now visible. Noise barriers near Exits 1 and 2 have also been taken down, now that the noisier works have been completed. The disappearance of these barriers allows closer looks at the station's construction as work on the exits progress.
