Little India February

Little India station is one of those with the quickest pace of construction on Stage 2 along with Cashew station. The new exit near the North East Line (NEL) station is currently being integrated with the existing exit to provide a single combined entry-point for easy use by commuters. The roofs are being linked and other alterations being made so that the two entry-points will provide a one-stop solution for commuters heading to either the NEL or Downtown Line.

The second exit is also taking shape, outside the Land Transport Authority headquarters. A ventilation shaft will be integrated with this exit which is expected to be barrier-free accessible.

Back-filling work on covering up the transfer linkway has also been largely completed. The linkway now lies fully buried under earth and some parts of recycled concrete.

In line with the future North South Expressway running under Bukit Timah Road, the Rochor canal is being rebuilt above the roof slab of the Little India station as well. This is taking shape rapidly and once completed, will allow the back-filling above the station to commence. A further road diversion may have to wait until trackworks are completed.
