History
editOn 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).[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 Park and Bukit Batok West stations and associated viaducts.[5][6][7]
Location
editThe station will be located within the future Tengah planning area at the junction of Plantation Crescent and Tengah Boulevard.[8][9][10]
