The scope of work on the project includes addition and alteration works to the current NEL Punggol station.
This will allow seamless transfer and improved connectivity between NEL, LRT and the new CPe station.
Currently, Woh Hup is working on the construction of Tanjong Katong and Bayshore stations for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), Loyang station on the CRL as well as on the Kim Chuan Depot Extension.
A joint venture (JV) between Obayashi Corporation and Shanghai Tunnel Engineering received the second contract worth approximately $561m (S$758m) to design and build the bored tunnel between Fairways Drive and Sin Ming Walk under the CRL2.
