Sg MRT Construction, Singapore (2026)

01/08/2026

Somehow, recent announcements of the locations of new stations on MRT lines seem to lack the punch that they once had. Working names for the stations used to be unveiled, glimpses of the potential station designs used to be shown and exits used to be demarcated, giving commuters a rough idea of how the stations might turn out once fully built.

The stations on the CRL's final phase were unveiled yesterday by Minister for Transport .jeffrey but were devoid of the above information - with one exception being the name Gul Circle being shown. We understand this to be due to changes to how the names are received and to cater for potential design changes to the stations when contractors receive the briefs and develop detailed designs later in the process. Nonetheless, we have 4 upcoming stations to anticipate the CRL's arrival in the far west come the late 2030's.

Oh, there'll be an additional depot thrown in as well, as anticipated at the site of the former Raffles Country Club. We recently posted on the advanced works taking place there to prepare the land for the construction to come.

From the basic maps that have been released thus far, two of the stations will feature paid transfers to other lines - namely the JRL at Jurong Pier and the EWL at Gul Circle. The latter is the only name reflected on the map for Phase 3 being that it is an existing operational station with an already established name. Jurong Pier, on the other hand, was retrospectively removed from all publicity materials relating to the JRL and the station (JS12)'s official name has yet to be confirmed.

What are you looking forward to the most in learning about the stations? Let us know in the comments section below.

Do you recall that the public were invited to vote on certain design aspects of the CRL trains some time back? These were for seat colour schemes, the hand rail well at doorway colour schemes, design of the draught screen panels, floor colour schemes and whether decorative LED feature lights should be included in the train's design.

Today, the SGMC team was graciously hosted by Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving during the Minister of Transport's visit to the Singapore Rail Test Centre for the unveiling of the CRL train sets in Singapore.

The team was able to board the stationary trains and explore some of the design features within the trains. We can confirm that the seat colours assigned for Cars 1 and 6 will be light blue, with Cars 2 and 5 featuring green and Cars 3 & 4 featuring a dark blue scheme. The train cars are numbered sequentially, with each train set carrying cars numbered 1 through 6.

The hand rail wells of the trains are coloured Lime, the line's colour, for easy identification of the hand rails. For the draught screens, diagonally facing pairs of triangles were chosen. This design was not very obvious and appeared minimalistic, to the point that one might miss the design if one were not looking for it actively. The floors on the other hand, opted for the single tone scheme.

Voters also chose for the wider gangways to feature decorative LED lights, which immediately distinguish the trains from others on the existing operational lines. Some other features include the use of doors with micro plug functions that are supposed to offer better sound insulation within the saloon.

Being powered by an overhead catenary rail system, the trains are equipped with pantographs on Cars 2 and 5. We managed to get a look at these often hard to see components of the trains.

There were so many other features that we got to discover, but unfortunately were not able to fit all into the limited space on Instagram. The full set of pictures, however, can be found on the CRL Construction Blog - link in bio.

In March 2024, we posted on the CRL Construction Blog, comparing the similarities and timelines between contracts J1018 and CR3018. We noted that contract J1018 was for advanced earthworks at the site that later became the JRL's Tengah depot. Might the works for contract CR3018 similarly be for the CRL's western depot?

Information gleaned from URA's masterplan 2025 seems to support this, with the site of the former Raffles Country Club (RCC) being zoned for transport facilities. To date, we have not come across any bus infrastructure project that utilises such a big plot of land, lending credence to the possibility of this site being the location of the CRL depot in the west.

We also compared the timelines of the two contracts, to see if we might gauge when the final phase of the CRL would be announced. We postulated that potentially, the CRL alignment for phase 3 might be announced in 1 to 2 years. Well, two years have since come by and gone without an announcement. We just might need to be patient for a little more, seeing that the Ministry of Transport had mentioned that they hoped to commence construction in 2027. Oh wait, that's the delivery date for contract CR3018 works.

Since the contract's award, site clearing works have progressed, converting the former RCC grounds into a construction site where orange soil is the dominant colour. Gone are the lush green tones of the various trees that stood on site, replaced with mounds of dirt that has been moved about. Most of the ponds within the former golf course have been filled in, buildings mostly demolished and the high speed test track of the Singapore Rail Test Centre (SRTC) along the northern boundary of the site has become visible.

Time will tell, when the final phase of the CRL will be announced. With 2026 being a bumper year for rail development progress, it should only be a matter of time before the CRL's final leg is unveiled.

The preview open house for CCL6 was held yesterday. Did you head down to join in the festivities? How was your experience? Did you have any favourite moments? Let us know in the comments!

Better yet, participate in our CCL6 contest & stand a chance to win credits to Knackshop and/or Play-E_Hobbies. Details in the preceding post. Contest is open for submissions till 13 July, so you can still participate if you didn't have a chance to go to the preview yesterday.

Here are some fun facts from CCL6 that you might not have known:
1. Chiller pipes can be seen inside the CCL6 tunnels as the stations are cooled with a centralised cooling tower located at Cantonment station, instead of each station having its own cooling tower. This means that chilled water has to be pumped between stations, thus running the chiller pipes through the tunnels was chosen.

2. There were different iterations of the boat hull design for Prince Edward Road station, one of which included mimicking a boat's hull for the station's ceiling.

3. There were also other design options considered during the ideation stage, for Prince Edward Road station. It is unclear, however, what these themes were exactly. Rocks? Stratum?

Head on over to the CCL6 Construction Blog for a brief recap of the preview and for more pictures - link in bio. Here's to the line section's full opening next Sunday!

As phase 1 of the JRL trundles along, the stations are beginning to look a lot more like MRT stations. Platform screen gates (PSGs), LCD arrival screens and high volume-low speed (HVLS) fans are among some of the features being installed that make the stations look more complete.

As of May, 4 of the 10 stations had PSGs installed or undergoing installation. These run for a continuous stretch from Corporation to Choa Chu Kang West. Over at Tengah station, PSGs were only installed at the lower platform level. With the installation of PSGs, tiling work could also commence within these stations.

At Corporation station, the interior works appeared to be a little further along in progress with the appearance of the LCD arrival timing screens at platform level. As of end-May, there appeared to be 3 such screens installed, with the forward screen on the Choa Chu Kang-bound platform yet to be installed.

With rail installation works completed along the entire phase, track-related installation works have moved on to the installation of electrical wiring. Various flatbed wagons with cable drums could be seen along the route's length as such works continued on.

Wrapping up May is an update on the DTL's extensions. Following the base line's completion in 2017, extensions at both ends of the route were subsequently announced, adding a further 6.2km to the route's length. On the eastern end, Xilin station is being added as an intermediate station along a 2.2km extension to Sungei Bedok.

Work was ongoing at all three of Xilin station's exits, which have finally taken shape. In particular, Exits 2 and 3 appear to be more substantially completed and ready for use. Exit 1 was a little further behind in readiness. More shockingly, though, were that some ancillary structures along Changi South Avenue 3 appeared to still be undergoing structural casting works. Nonetheless, the station is expected to open by year's end, with testing on the DTL expected to result in early closures and late openings from next month.

Over in the northwest, the line is also being extended by a further 2 stations, with a 4km alignment bringing the route to a second interchange with the NSL in Sungei Kadut. Site clearing works were underway for both station sites, with the intermediate station site seeing buildings fully levelled. Demolition works were ongoing at the Sungei Kadut station site, although the primary area where the station structure will sit has since been cleared.

Next to the housing blocks at Senja, a docking shaft will be constructed to allow tunnel boring machines to connect new tunnels with the existing line's terminating points. Advanced works for utility diversion are ongoing, with the site not yet handed over to the civil works contractor.

In the unlikely event that you may not have heard, the first CR151 train set for the CRL has arrived on Singapore's shores. The Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving released a video today detailing new features about the first CRL train to be shipped here. These include larger gangways, more doors compared to existing trains (except the TEL trains) and yada yada yada... We noticed other things.

1. Set 2 appears to be the first set to be shipped here
Shots of the train on the trailer show that the car is numbered 50025. We take this to mean that this is car 5 of set 2, based on other numbers we've seen in this video.

2. A new design feature is the arrangement of the overhead handle bar
In renders previously released, it was a simple pole that ran in a straight line through the centre of the car. It now appears that near the doorways, the bar splits into a rectangle, presumably so that more people can hold on at the same time.

3. At least 3 sets have been constructed
Another shot in the video shows a car numbered 50031. Based on the train car numbering pattern in #1, we figure that this should mean car 1 of set 3.

4. Green colour & LED strip lighting options confirmed
We spied the green colour seats in one of the shots, and right at the end of the car, LED strip lighting near the gangway. The LED strip lighting is unlikely to serve any meaningful purpose other than, well, looking different probably.

The train will be moved from the Jurong Port to the Singapore Rail Test Centre (SRTC), where it will undergo local testing & integration works. As it will still be some time yet before tracks are laid along the CRL and at Changi East depot, the train will likely call the SRTC home for some time yet.

Did you spot the details that we did? How many did you know and how many were new to you? Let us know in the comments.

With the CCL almost ready to open, testing & commissioning works have shifted to the TEL to operationalise phase 5 of the line. Early closures on Fridays and late openings on Saturdays began last weekend as integrated testing commences. We checked in at the two phase 5 stations as well as the modifications to expand Tanah Merah as part of the TEL Extension.

Along TEL5, there aren't many changes, as expected. Given that structural works for the two stations have been substantially completed for some time now, there were minimal and insignificant changes to the general vicinity of the stations. Most notable is the installation of station signage at Sungei Bedok station. Where previously signs were left blank, the information is now visible for passers by to see.

Over at Tanah Merah, works at Exit 4 appeared to be catching up to those of Exit 3, with cladding of the structure substantially completed, along with ongoing roofing works. Part of the sidewalk here had been closed to pedestrian traffic, with diversions in place to allow works to continue.

At platform level, demolition of the former plant rooms at the eastern end of Platforms C through F were in progress. By end-May, demolition works appear to have been completed for both sets of platforms. With these works completed, it may be a matter of time before Exits 3 and 4, along with the new eastern concourse, can finally open for public use.

Last week, the LTA published the first tender for the JRL's West Coast Extension (WCE). Contract W1007, for the detection of utilities as a service, will be due for completion by September 2029. Major thanks to for pointing us to the Indicative Government Procurement Listing that may be updated at the start of each financial year (FY). The listing showed two contracts that may be called this FY in relation to the WCE.

The listing also showed us that the contract numbers would use the prefix 'W' in front of the contract numbers, a move that first began with contracts for the TEL back in 2012. Additionally, it appears that contract W1005 listed on the indicative listing was later renumbered to W1007, signaling that changes to the contracts may still be possible.
