Tengah Plantation MRT Station

Tengah Plantation MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region line in Tengah, Singapore.

History

On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tengah Plantation station would be part of the proposed 24-kilometre (15 mi) Jurong Region line (JRL). 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. However, the restrictions on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays, with the completion date pushed to 2028.

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 Park and Bukit Batok West stations and associated viaducts.

Location

The station will be located within the future Tengah planning area at the junction of Plantation Crescent and Tengah Boulevard.
