Mattar flashback

Contract 932 is for the construction of Mattar station and associated tunnels towards Geylang Bahru station. Last month, contractor Sato Kogyo celebrated the successful completion of the tunnel drives to Geylang Bahru station, some one year and five months after the initial launch ceremony where Minister of State for Transport, Josephine Teo inaugurated tunneling along Downtown Line 3 (DTL3). Tunnel boring machines Xena and Gabrielle supplied by Kawasaki Heavy Industries had to chew through earth for a distance of 1.4km.

Here's a look back at Mattar station from 2011 when works were just beginning.
