The pre-construction works included laying foundations for light rail stops and construction of footings for platforms. Major construction commenced in November. Preparatory works, such as surveying, investigation and other preconstruction works, commenced in July 2012. The design, construction, commissioning and testing on the line was completed within 18 months.
