Bedok South MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit 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[]

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 is expected to be completed in 2025.[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) at a sum of S$188 million in April 2016. Construction started in 2016.[4]

Stage 5 of the TEL is now slated to commence passenger service in 2025 instead of 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
