Jurong Lake District Transport Guide
Jurong East, Chinese Garden and Lakeside MRT stations serve Jurong Lake District today. The next dated rail targets are Jurong Region Line Stage 1 around mid-2028 and Cross Island Line Phase 2 to JLD in 2032. Phase 3 is a later western extension from JLD, not the same project.

Jurong Region Line Stage 1
The Jurong Region Line is under construction. LTA's 4 March 2026 rail update targets Stage 1 around mid-2028. That is an official target, not a completed opening.

Targeted around mid-2028
Stage 1 of the Jurong Region Line is under construction. LTA’s 4 March 2026 rail update says Stage 1 will open around mid-2028, instead of the earlier end-2027 timeline.

Cross Island Line Phase 2 to Jurong Lake District
Phase 2 extends the Cross Island Line west to Jurong Lake District. LTA targets this phase for 2032. URA's Town Hall Link materials refer to the future JLD station as CR19 and describe pedestrian links toward both Jurong East MRT and that station.

Cross Island Line Phase 3 from JLD to Gul Circle
Phase 3 is a later extension from Jurong Lake District west to Gul Circle. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with stations targeted for the late 2030s. Do not read Phase 3 as the same milestone as Phase 2's 2032 target to JLD.
Cross Island Line Phase 3
Construction expected from 2027; opening by late 2030s
CRL Phase 3 extends west from Jurong Lake District to Gul Circle. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with stations targeted for the late 2030s. It is not the same milestone as CRL Phase 2 to JLD.

Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub
On 4 February 2021, LTA awarded a contract to design and build the Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub. That announcement described a bus interchange with community and civic uses and an office tower, and said construction was expected to complete around 2027. This page repeats that official 2021 target and does not add a later completion claim.
Walking, cycling and multi-level pedestrian plans
The Planning and Urban Design Guide describes 10-minute neighbourhoods and a network of elevated, at-grade and underground pedestrian links between buildings and public transport nodes. It also describes cycling paths on both sides of streets in the new precinct, planned at 2.5 metres wide, and a car-lite target of at least 85 percent of trips by walking, cycling or riding public transport by 2035. Those figures are planning targets from the guide, not current measured mode share.
