It will connect to main activity nodes in Jurong West, such as Nanyang Technological University, the Jurong Industrial estate, including Jurong Island and the future Jurong Gateway. Commuters in the North will also be able to enter the Jurong region directly via the JRL, without having to interchange at the heavily-used Jurong East interchange. The 20km Jurong Region Line (JRL) will connect the region to the existing rail network for faster travel to the rest of the island.

On August 2015, it’s reported that the planned Jurong Region Line could be extended southwards to join the Circle Line at Haw Par Villa station. The engineering studies are currently being done on the Jurong Region Line. The line is estimated to be ready by 2025, while the extension – if found to be feasible – will be completed by 2030.
