CCL6 Preview

4 July 2026 - A view of all 3 Circle Line stage 6 stations seen during the preview open house.

The Circle Line stage 6 (CCL6) preview was held today to allow members of the public to familiarise themselves with the 3 new stations being added to the line. Free rides on the sector were held as part of the public preview. If you haven't heard, SG MRT Construction (SGMC) is holding a short contest where you'll be able to win credits at online shops such as knackstop and Play-E_hobbies. Find out more about SGMC's CCL6 contest here. The contest closes on 13 July, so you still have time to submit an entry after the sector opens on 12 July to participate. Let's now recap a little about the 3 stations along CCL6.

CCL6 - A snapshot in May 2026

Overview of CCL6 contracts 882 to 886 as at mid-May 2026.
Top (L - R): CC30 - Keppel, CC31 - Cantonment
Bottom (L - R): CC32 - Prince Edward Road, Contract 886 cut & cover tunnels

The long awaited missing segment of the Circle Line (CCL) - phase 6 - is about to open on 12 July 2026, with a preview event on 4 July 2026 (hoorah?). Finally, there will be an end to the perpetual question from literal commuters "Why is it called the Circle Line when it is not a circle?". Before then, we catch up with the progress at the three stations and one cut & cover tunnel contract to see how much work is left to be completed before preview & opening days. If you weren't excited enough for the new phase, this post may just help with that.

CCL6 - A snapshot in February 2026

28 February 2026 - An overview of the progress at 3 stations along the CCL6.

With a few more months to go till the sixth stage of the Circle Line (CCL) is due to open, we check in on progress in the middle of Q1 to see how far the stations have come along. Most of the exits have since been installed with the public transport logo caplet sign and station name signs have been appearing at the various exits. Find out more after the jump.

Happy New Year 2026! (CCL6 version)

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! This year is looking to be a momentous year with lots of rail stations scheduled to open. The first of these is slated to be the final stage of the Circle Line (CCL) - stage 6 - that bridges the gap between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations. Enough of those "why is it called the Circle Line when it is not a circle?" questions. It's finally becoming a circle. But before we get there, here are some early looks at the interiors of Keppel and Cantonment stations. They look good. Major thanks to @stormfire_transport for the heads up.
