Stevens Hacks D-wall

Following the final road diversion 2 months back, the project team has completed the demolishment of the temporary Diaphragm Wall beneath Bukit Timah Road. The temporary road deck has been removed and the team will begin to resurface the permanent road above the station. The road should be reinstated early next year. Architectural works on the station exit should commence around the same time.

Along Stevens Road, the T216 project of the Thomson Line is also working together with C919 Sembawang as both teams stage their traffic diversions simultaneously.

Bukit Panjang - Flyover

The new flyover above the Bukit Panjang station has taken much shape over the last quarter. The north side is mostly completed whilst columns have been casted on the south side. Spanning across the intersection junction, post tensioning works creates a cantilever for half of the peak span on the north side.

Majority of the photos in this update are contributed by 081828 from Skyscrapercity - whose contributions toward urban infrastructure are much appreciated. He will be a secondary contributor to occasionally aid in the updates of the Downtown and Thomson Line.
