Bedok South MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Thomson–East Coast line in Bedok planning area, Singapore.[1]

The station will be located next to Temasek Secondary School, at the intersection of Upper East Coast Road and Bedok South Road.

History

[edit]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Bedok South station would be part of the proposed Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Stage 5, consisting of 2 stations between Bedok South and Sungei Bedok, and was expected to be completed in 2024.[2][3]

Contract T311 for the design and construction of Bedok South Station and associated tunnels was awarded to China Jingye Engineering Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) for S$188 million in April 2016. Construction started in 2016.[4]

Stage 5 of the TEL was slated to commence passenger service in 2025 instead of 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Due to challenges of tunnelling near existing critical infrastructure, the station's construction was further delayed to 2026.[6]
