Cracks appearing on homes near the station
The Land Transport Authority has taken steps to repair damages to at least 40 Watten Estate homes, believed to be linked to the construction of the Downtown Line. Residents of the terraced and semi-detached houses at Bukit Timah complained that they began noticing hairline cracks in walls inside and outside their homes between July and August 2012. They added that cracks began widening in those weeks. Besides cracks, some car porch roofs and walls had shifted, and some gates could no longer open. The houses in the upscale neighbourhood where home prices start in the millions, are across from the site of the upcoming Tan Kah Kee station. Checks were made by LTA and the houses were found to be structurally safe.[1]
Artworks
- Downtown Line: 饮水思源 & 自强不息 (Gratitude & Resilience) by Hwa Chong Institution
The Chinese idiom for resilience (自强不息) dissolves into bands of white and yellow to form a blazing sun that shares its light through thick and thin. The words for gratitude (饮水思源) are presented in blue and green, symbolising a running river that connects us to our history and cultural heritage.[2]
