The Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded three civil contracts for the construction of four stations on the Jurong Region Line (JRL).

The JRL will connect Singapore’s north-western and western areas. It is the seventh mass rapid transit (MRT) line in the country, which LTA plans to open it in three phases.

The three contracts awarded are worth S$596m ($429.1m) in total.

The first contract covers the design and construction of the Boon Lay station, along with an 800m viaduct located along Jurong West Street 64.

LTA awarded an S$172m ($123.8m) contract to the China Communications Construction Company Limited (Singapore Branch).

It will also be responsible for the upgrade works for the East-West line’s current Boon Lay station.
