C885 - Prince Edward Road update February 2024

 

11 February 2024 - A view of the concrete structure of Exit 1 seen from Shenton Way.

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.
