Gek Poh MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station along the Jurong Region line in Jurong West, Singapore. [1] [2] [3]
On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Gek Poh station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, JRL (West), consisting of 10 stations between Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and Tawas, and is expected to be completed in 2027. [4]
Contract J107 for the design and construction of Gek Poh station and associated viaducts was awarded to Sembcorp Design and Construction Pte Ltd at a sum of S$ 226.6 million ( US$ 166.1 million). Construction will start in 2020, with completion in 2027. [5] Contract J107 also includes the design and construction of Tawas, and associated viaducts. [6]
Initially expected to open in 2026, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the JRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2027. [7]
In the early morning of 4 January 2024, a 27-year-old construction worker was injured when he fell from an unfinished platform. The worker was brought to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital where he died from his wounds. Work at the station site was halted while safety procedures were reviewed at all LTA construction sites. [8]
