SINGAPORE - Upgrading works at Clementi, Commonwealth and Queenstown MRT stations are on track to complete by the middle of next year, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a statement today.
The three stations are set to get new entrances and facilities upon completion of the works, which were started in 2012 to alleviate congestion and provide commuters with greater convenience and comfort.
Clementi station saw basic structural completion last month. There will be two new sheltered link bridges to connect pedestrians from the extended station concourse to both sides of the adjacent road.
Installation of a lift and two escalators at the bridges will take place over the next few months, and will be followed by the installation of roof panels over the steel columns, the LTA said.
It added that structural works at Commonwealth station and piling works at Queenstown station are making good progress.
Other stations that are also slated for upgrades include Tanah Merah, which have a new lift, Pasir Ris and Bishan. A drop-off bay with a high covered roof will be built at the latter two stations, the LTA said.
