More sections of the station are beginning to take shape with the surface structures pushing through. The station achieved basic structural completion (BSC) in the middle of 2023, with the exits likely to follow this coming year. Check on after the jump for more pictures!

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 month now since work to "Close the Circle" by connecting tunnels and tracks from Keppel to HarbourFront stations has begun. While temporary changes to the service patterns of the main line were implemented, work continues to make progress over at Contract 882's Keppel station site. We take a look at how the site has changed since we last checked in at the end of 2023.

Its less than a week away to the upcoming temporary Circle Line (CCL) service pattern changes which will commence this Saturday (20 January 2024). What are the changes? Why are the changes needed? And what are the works being done that necessitate these changes? We'll delve into these questions in this post, more after the jump.

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.
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.

Ahead of major disruptive work for the Circle Line next year, we pay the Keppel station a visit to check in on progress made. Backfilling work is continuing with a significant difference noted over the station's roof slab. In our previous update in August, parts of the concrete roof slab could still be seen exposed to the elements. These have since been covered over with soil and demolition work is ongoing for the earth retaining & stabilising system (ERSS) - a system of temporary walls installed to allow for the excavation and casting of the station box within.
