THE Land Transport Authority has awarded Australian company McConnell Dowell a contract to build a stretch of the Downtown MRT Line.
The $340 million contract is for the design and construction of the station at Beauty World and associated tunnels.
Located along Upper Bukit Timah Road, the station at Beauty World will double up as a civil defence shelter.
Construction is scheduled to start soon and is targeted to complete in 2015.
The Beauty World station is part of Downtown Line Stage 2 (DTL2), a 16.6km fully-underground line with 12 stations and one depot.
When completed, DTL2 will link commuters from the Bukit Timah corridor to the North-east Line, North-south Line and Circle Line.

Beauty World is where I had my pedicure done a few months back. It is a mere 10-min walk to and from our place!!!
Like that then no need to wake up at 5am everyday!!!
Also, today Noor (secretary of our big big boss) mentioned that there are opportunities for graduates (like me) to be a part of this project. This one would be different because it would be a tunnelling job, now I'm doing a civil marine job.
Dunno leh. See how. But quite exciting, can. Or only the thought is exciting, but the real nitty gritty, nuts and bolts of the actual job is kindaf sian??
MUST GET RID OF THIS SINGLISH!!!! SKARLY MY EX-ENGLISH TEACHERS SEE HOW I WRITE NOW THEN I KENA SAI FROM THEM.
