Upgrading MRT Station

As a measure to counter the economic depression, all MRT stations are undergoing makeovers.
A banyan tree was removed to make space for a new lift.

Lifts are being added to make the stations access friendly.

A new roof is also added, making umbrellas unnecessary on raining days.
Roof is construction on ground level...



And lifted to supporting columns...



The lifting has to be done after midnight to minimise inconvenience and safety for pedestrians.



The next morning, it is raining and commuters are pleasantly surprised...
