Marine Terrace station in Singapore

Marine Terrace MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson–East Coast line at the boundary of Marine Parade and Bedok planning areas, Singapore.[2] The station took its name from Marine Terrace, a road as well as the residential estate within its proximity. Nearby residential areas such as Marine Terrace and Telok Kurau are also served.

First announced in August 2014, the station was constructed as part of stage 4 of the Thomson East Coast line. The station commenced operations on 23 June 2024.

History

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Marine Terrace station would be part of the proposed Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore. This segment was expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]

Contract T308 for the design and construction of Marine Terrace station and 1.78 kilometres (1.11 miles) of associated tunnels was awarded to Ssangyong Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. – Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. Joint Venture at S$361 million in January 2016. Construction started in 2016, with expected completion in 2024.[5][6][7] Initially expected to open in 2023, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the TEL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2024.[8] On 5 March 2024, the LTA announced that the station will open on 23 June that year.[9][10]

Details

Marine Terrace station is located between the Marine Parade and Siglap stations. The station code is TE27.[11] Located along Marine Parade Road, the six entrances of the station will serve the residential area of Marine Terrace, condominiums and landed properties in the Telok Kurau area and nearby schools such as St. Patrick's School and CHIJ Katong Convent.[12] The station will have a length of 440 metres (480 yd) and a depth of 22 metres (72 ft).[13] The station is one of the first 3 stations on the MRT network to contain underground bicycle parking spaces, along with Marine Parade and Bayshore stations, with Marine Terrace containing 202 bike parking lots.[14]
