T312 - Sungei Bedok update Q1 2023

 

19 February 2023 - A view of the western exits with the lift shafts coming up.

Sungei Bedok is the final station on this stretch of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), till works on the extension to Changi Airport begin. Thus it is fitting that we end our Q1 2023 update at this station, which will be a stacked interchange station also serving the Downtown Line (DTL). Yes, we will not be including progress at Bayshore station under TEL4 in this Q1 update - largely due to the fact that there is not much to update at that particular site. Nonetheless, let us dive into the Sungei Bedok update.

T302 - Founders' Memorial Q1 2023 update

 

23 March 2023

Founders' Memorial station is a bit of a peculiar one, being planned with the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) stage 4 under contract E1003, but as a shell station box akin to that of Tagore on TEL2. Initially, the contract T302 called for the "Construction of Facility Building and tunnels for the TEL". Nonetheless, the station is on its way to being fully built out. Featuring 2 exits on either end of the station, work is progressing with the concrete structures completed. Equipment is being installed at both exits, with the northern exit also doubling up as a cooling plant.
