The Jurong Region Line is the new rail line for Singapore's west. LTA's project page gives it a length of about 24 km with 25 stations, built in three stages from 2028 to 2029. Its station codes start with JS on the main line, JE on the branch towards Jurong East and JW on the branch towards Nanyang Technological University. Trains will be stabled at a new depot in Tengah. This page lists every station; for the wider picture see our MRT and LRT guide.
The line is designed to serve the western towns that today depend on the North-South and East-West lines, and the new town of Tengah, which has no rail station at present.
A line with three arms
The main line (JS) starts at Choa Chu Kang, beside the North-South Line and the Bukit Panjang LRT, and runs south through Choa Chu Kang West into Tengah, with stations at Tengah and Hong Kah. It continues through Corporation and Jurong West to Bahar Junction and Boon Lay, where it meets the East-West Line, then heads south through Enterprise and Tukang to Jurong Hill and Jurong Pier, near the coast.
The east branch (JE) leaves the main line in Tengah and runs east through Tengah Plantation and Tengah Park to Bukit Batok West, then Toh Guan and Jurong East, where riders can change to both of the oldest MRT lines. It ends beyond Jurong Town Hall at Pandan Reservoir.
The west branch (JW) runs from Bahar Junction through Gek Poh and Tawas towards the university, with Nanyang Gateway, Nanyang Crescent and Peng Kang Hill at its end.

What the line will change
The Jurong Region Line brings rail to parts of the west that are some way from today's lines, including the new town of Tengah. SingStat counted 250,890 residents in Jurong West, 185,520 in Choa Chu Kang, 165,680 in Bukit Batok and 72,160 in Jurong East in June 2026. Tengah, the newest HDB town, had 34,340 residents and is still growing.
For Jurong West, the line adds six stations across the town, compared with three East-West Line stations today, all in the south of the town. For Tengah, it brings the town's first rail stations. For Jurong East, it adds a third line at the Jurong East interchange and new stations at Toh Guan, Jurong Town Hall and Pandan Reservoir. For students and staff at the university, the west branch will bring rail to the campus area in 2029.
Linking the west to the rest
The line joins the network at three points from its first stages: Choa Chu Kang for the North-South Line and the Bukit Panjang LRT, Boon Lay for the East-West Line and Jurong East for both of the oldest lines. In the late 2030s, Jurong Pier will add a link with the Cross Island Line, which will run east towards the city and the north-east. Each of the areas on the route has an eGuide page listing its planned stations with their target years.
