According to the Singapore’s Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) final granted civil contract the Cross Island Line-Punggol Extension (CPe) is due to be advanced.

Completion process of the contract for the design and construction of Elias station and tunnels with S$562m (US$427m) value will be up to a joint venture of CES_SDC Pte Ltd and Chip Eng Seng Contractors.

Being located at a depth of about 40m, Elias station will have five entrances, whereas the geology is old alluvium, a predominantly soil-like material comprising sandy and silty clay. Connecting Elias and Pasir Ris stations, with the deepest section around 50m beneath ground, a TBM is due to build a pair of tunnels, each about 1.4km long.

Including 12 stations from Aviation Park to Bright Hill, the CRL Phase 1 is 29km long, while its construction is undergoing and is schedule to be completed by 2030. With the approximate length of 15km, the CRL Phase 2 was announced in September 2022 and comprises six underground stations. Meanwhile, engineering studies for the CRL Phase 3 are ongoing.
