| 21 November 2022 - A view of the excavation pit along Shenton Way. |
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.

| 14 September 2022 - A view of the contract 886 work sites for both the main line & turn back tunnels. |
Contract 886 is for the construction of cut & cover (C&C) tunnels for Circle Line 6 at the Marina Bay area. This contract consists of 2 sections - the main line section and the turnback tunnel section. The tracks at Prince Edward Road (PER) station are in a stacked configuration, thus as they head eastwards to Marina Bay station, the tracks split into two directions. One set known as the main line tunnels, turns southwards to connect to the existing Marina Bay station while another set turns eastwards to end just before Shenton Way station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This second set is known as the turn back tunnels and will serve to allow trains terminating at PER to reverse directions and commence their return journey at the correct level (as PER is of a stacked platform configuration, hence the tracks are on different levels).

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.

On National Day, we conducted a virtual tour on the SG MRT Construction (SgMC) Instagram channel. During the tour, we covered several stations along the Circle Line and we'll be featuring some additional shots that we hadn't showcased on the Instagram channel during the tour.

Through stories & highlights, we want to bring you snappy pictorial [maybe even a video or two :) ] updates on the various rail lines, including the existing lines that we do not previously cover on the blogs.
Each Instagram post will carry a unique frame design, for ease of distinguishing updates on different lines and stages.
We also want to interact more with you, our dear reader! Slide into our DMs with your photos, videos, and tipoffs - we would love to hear from and feature you :)
We are also planning an IG story engagement this national day holiday, so do join us then! Check back for more deets as they drop soon.
Fret not, the blogs are here to stay. They'll carry more detailed writeups and deep dives. Do continue to visit for the full deets - we will cross post updates across both platforms.
So do drop by SgMC on Instagram - you can view it on a web browser too if you do not have an Instagram account - and follow us for a new way of connecting & receiving updates.
