Tengah Plantation MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region Line in Tengah, Singapore, set to open in 2028.

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). ^[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

The station will be located within the future Tengah planning area in the Plantation District along Plantation Crescent. ^{[8] [9] [10]} The station is located next to Plantation Plaza and Tengah Community Hub.
