Construction works for five stations on the new Jurong Region Line (JRL) are expected to start next year and slated for completion in 2026.

The five stations are Choa Chu Kang, Choa Chu Kang West, Tengah, Hong Kah and Corporation, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said yesterday. The authority has awarded two contracts worth $739.5 million to construct the five MRT stations.
