As the name implies, the line connects Jurong to the existing North South East West Lines, benefit more residents living in the west.<ref name="JRL1"/>
 
==History==
It was first announced in 2001 as an expected [[Light Rail Transit|LRT]] line to serve residents in Jurong living beyond the end point of the original [[East West Line]] terminus, [[Boon Lay MRT Station|Boon Lay]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070310154915/http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10296p.nsf/0/E3DD372368CF8AAD482570830021FE5B?OpenDocument "Development Plans for Jurong West". Housing & Development Board. 10 Mar 2007. Retrieved 19 Jan 2013]</ref> However, plans for this line were put on hold indefinitely in 2008 when Land Transport Authority announced that no new LRT lines would be built unless a new township is heavily developed, as the population of Jurong and total yearly demand from NTU deemed that the line was not economically sustainable to be built.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110926211029/http://app.lta.gov.sg/forum_replies_content.asp?start=51 "No plans to develop Jurong LRT for now". Land Transport Authority. 26 May 2008. Retrieved 19 Jan 2013]</ref>
 
In 2011, the line was re-proposed as a private light-rail serving NTU, that would run from [[Pioneer MRT Station|Pioneer]] and into the campus.<ref>[http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/CorpComms2/Documents/2011/Feb/MP_110208_A5_NTU%20to%20become%20mini-city.pdf NTU to become mini-city]</ref>
 
On 17 January 2013, this line was announced to be built by 2030. It will be part of the MRT network instead of the initial proposal as a LRT line. It will serve West Coast, Tengah and Choa Chu Kang, besides just Jurong when originally announced in 2001.<ref name="JRL1"/> On 25 August 2015, it has announced to extend the line to Haw Par Villa area.
