The recent visit to the Westin Hotel not only gave great views of Prince Edward Road station, but also of the cut & cover tunnels linking to Marina Bay station as well. Being built under contract 886, the tunnels will also feature a turnback siding, from where trackworks are taking place.

In early August, we managed to get some incredible views of the Prince Edward Road station site from the Westin Hotel's lobby at level 32. Overlooking the western downtown area, the lobby provided the perfect vantage point. Here's our pictorial update for the site as of early-August.

Structural works at contract 886 appear to be almost done with the site being handed over to the trackworks contractor. Known as a temporary staging area (TSA), this will form the base for trackworks to be carried out. Through the duration of the track installation work, some gantry cranes and other support equipment may be used.

With the Circle Line (CCL) stage 6 being only 3 stations in length, this is the final update for Q2 of 2023 for this extension project. Once again, Seloloving has kindly provided us with these images for our use in the update - thank you and very much appreciated.

This past week we have been celebrating the Circle Line's 14th anniversary with throwbacks on our Instagram & Facebook stories. If you haven't joined us on those platforms, come join in the fun by clicking on the links! To move forward into current times though, we'll be taking a look at progress at Contract 883 for the construction of Cantonment station. The photos in this post were kindly provided by Seloloving - a big thank you for helping with the groundwork and allowing us to use the pictures.

The Circle Line is progressing towards final loop closure with the addition of 3 stations along a 4km route between HarbourFront and Marina Bay terminals. Bored tunneling works between the stations have been completed for some time now while work continues on at the stations and cut & cover tunnels at the Marina Bay area. At the surface level, it is difficult to tell how much progress has been achieved. However by estimates, it is anticipated that the three stations should achieve basic structure completion some time this year with the exits to follow thereafter. Join us as we explore the progress under contract 882 for Keppel station.
