Choa Chu Kang station in Singapore

Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) interchange station in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. Serving the North South line (NSL) and the Bukit Panjang LRT line (BPLRT), the station is located near the Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange and Lot One shopping centre. Other surrounding landmarks include Keat Hong Community Club and Choa Chu Kang Park.

Contents

First announced as Bukit Panjang, the station was built as part of Phase II of the initial MRT system and was completed in March 1990. Choa Chu Kang station became part of the NSL when the line extended to this station via Woodlands station in 1996. The BPLRT station opened on 6 November 1999.

The station saw other upgrades including the installation of half-height platform screen doors on the NSL platforms in 2012 and platform barriers for the LRT station in 2015. New side platforms were completed for the LRT station in December 2016 alongside widening the staircase connecting the MRT and LRT platforms to improve passenger flow in the station. In May 2018, it was announced that the station would be an interchange with the Jurong Region line when the first stage opens in 2027.

History

The station, initially named Bukit Panjang, was announced in October 1983 and would be built as part of Phase II of the initial MRT system. [2] [3] Initially expected to be completed by 1992, the completion date of Phase II was pushed earlier to 1990. [4] [5]

The contract for the construction of Bukit Panjang station was awarded to a joint venture between RSEA International and Hock Lian Seng for S$99.8 million (US$ 131 million in 2021 [6] [7] ) in January 1986. The contract also included the construction of the Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak stations, alongside 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) of viaducts. [8] [9] In March 1987, the station was renamed to Choa Chu Kang station. [10]

The last viaduct beam between Bukit Gombak and Choa Chu Kang was laid on 9 January 1988. [11] Choa Chu Kang station opened on 10 March 1990 and was the terminus of the Branch line, [12] until it was incorporated into the North South line (NSL) with the Woodlands Extension on 10 February 1996. [13] [14]

Bukit Panjang line

The station was planned to interchange with the Bukit Panjang LRT line, which was first announced by Communications Minister Mah Bow Tan in December 1994 as a government pilot project that could "extend the reach and accessibility of the MRT network". [15] In February 1996, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong announced that construction of the Bukit Panjang LRT would proceed, and was expected to be completed in three years at a projected cost of S$300 million (US$212.76 million). [13] [16]

The contract for the design and construction of the 8-kilometre (5.0-mile) LRT line was awarded to a joint venture – Keppel Corporation, Gammon, and Adtranz – for S$285 million (US$202.12 million). [17] [18] [19] The LRT station opened along with the Bukit Panjang LRT line on 6 November 1999. [20] [21] [22]

Upgrades

On 31 October 2012, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that two additional side platforms would be built to ease crowding in the LRT station. The upgrades include widening the staircase connecting the MRT and LRT platforms, new fare gates and a covered linkway to the nearby Lot One shopping mall. [23] [24] [25] The two new LRT platforms at the LRT station began operations on 27 December 2016. [26] [27]

In 2012, half-height platform screen doors were installed on the MRT platforms as part of LTA's programme to improve safety in MRT stations. [28] [29] [30] Between 2012 and 2013, high-volume low-speed fans were installed at this station to improve ventilation at the elevated station's platforms. [31]

In 2015, platform barriers were installed on the LRT platforms. The Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang stations were given priority for their installation due to projected high commuter traffic from the Downtown MRT line. These barriers were installed to prevent people from falling or trespassing on the tracks. [32] However, unlike the MRT platform screen doors, these barriers have openings for train alignment rather than retractable doors. [33] New ceiling fans were installed over the LRT platforms in 2018. [34]

Jurong Region line

On 9 May 2018, the LTA announced Choa Chu Kang station will interchange with the proposed 24-kilometre (15 mi) Jurong Region line (JRL). [35] The station will be constructed as part of Stage 1 (JRL West), consisting of 10 stations from this station to Bahar Junction and two branches to Tawas and Boon Lay. This stage was expected to be completed in 2026. [36] [37] [38] However, restrictions on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays, with the completion date pushed to 2027. [39]

The contract for the design and construction of the JRL station and associated viaducts was awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. (Singapore) Pte Ltd for S$465.2 million (US$341 million). [40] The contract also includes the design and construction of the Choa Chu Kang West and Tengah stations along with 3.4 kilometres (2.1 miles) of associated viaducts. [41] [42] [43] Aurecon has been appointed lead consultant of the project. [44]

The Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange was relocated to a new site at the junction of Choa Chu Kang Loop and Choa Chu Kang Drive on 16 December 2018. [45] [46] Demolition of an adjacent multi-storey car park began in December 2020 to make way for JRL construction works. [47] [48]

[50] This branch was later incorporated into the NSL. [14] The station will also be the terminus of the JRL, with the adjacent station being Choa Chu Kang West station. [51]

The NSL station has a "pitched" roof design shaped like an inverted "V", [52] [53] and brick walls that match the surrounding HDB blocks. [54] Like many stations on the initial MRT network, the NSL station has an island platform. [55] The LRT station has a Spanish solution platform configuration. [24] The JRL station will be 139 metres (456 ft) long and 30 metres (98 ft) wide. [56]

Choa Chu Kang station is located between Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4 and Choa Chu Kang Loop. [57] Besides the surrounding HDB blocks, the station serves various landmarks including Choa Chu Kang Temporary Bus Interchange, Lot One Shoppers' Mall, Choa Chu Kang Community Club, Keat Hong Community Club, Choa Chu Kang Park and South View Primary School.
