Tengah Park MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region line located along the boundary of Tengah and Bukit Batok planning areas, Singapore.
History
[edit]On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tengah Park station would be part of the proposed 24-kilometre (15 mi) Jurong Region line (JRL).[1] The station would be constructed as part of Phase 2 (JRL East), a branch line consisting of 7 stations branching from Tengah to Pandan Reservoir. Phase 2 was expected to be completed in 2027.[2][3] However, the restrictions on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays, with the completion date pushed to 2028.[4]
The contract for the design and construction of Tengah Plantation station was awarded to a joint venture between John Holland Pty Ltd and McConnell Dowell South East Asia Pte Ltd for S$265.4 million (US$198.1 million) in March 2020. The contract included the design and construction of the Tengah Plantation station and Bukit Batok West station and associated viaducts.[5][6][7]
Location
[edit]The station complex will be situated next to Bukit Batok Road, before the junction with Bukit Batok West Avenue 3. It is located at the boundary between the Tengah and Bukit Batok planning area in the Brickworks Subzone,[8] opposite Dulwich College Singapore.
Access to the station will be via 5 exits on each side of Bukit Batok Road.[9]
