Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded the civil contract for the design and construction of CR19 Jurong Lake District station (working name) and tunnels under the Cross Island Line (CRL) Phase 2 to KTC Civil Engineering & Construction Pte Ltd. The contract is valued at around S$590 million.

CR19 is an underground station located within the upcoming Jurong Lake District hub. The construction of this station involves deep excavation works near the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE).

The company previously built Tampines interchange station on the Downtown Line and Orchard Boulevard station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). It is currently involved in the construction of CRL Maju station and TEL Sungei Bedok station.
