Aiming to fully restore train services on Sept 30, the authority said its progress includes the delivery of heavy rail to the location of the portions that had cracked.
Three track point machines and associated trackside equipment have been successfully recovered and have undergone functionality testing, said rail operator SMRT in a separate Facebook update on the night of Sept 28.
It added that power rails have been replaced, and restoration work was fully completed.
On Sept 25, a faulty train on the East-West Line (EWL) had damaged tracks and trackside equipment while on its way back to the Ulu Pandan Depot. Train services between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations have been disrupted since then.
"Our teams have been working through the night and morning, and have made significant progress, including the completion of heavy rail delivery work," said LTA in its Sept 28 Facebook post.
