Marine Parade MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson–East Coast line in Marine Parade, Singapore.^[2]

Located underneath Marine Parade Road near the junction of Marine Parade Central, the station will serve the nearby housing estates as well as Parkway Parade.

History[]

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Marine Parade 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, and is expected to be completed in 2024.^[3]^[4]

Contract T307 for the design and construction of Marine Parade Station was awarded to Samsung C&T Corporation at a sum of S$555 million on November 2015. Construction has started in 2016, with expected completion in 2024.^[5]^[6]^[7] To facilitate the station's construction, the junction between Joo Chiat Road and Marine Parade Road had to be closed from 9 April to 12 November 2017.^[8]^[9]

Initially expected to open in 2023, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the construction of the TEL, and the completion date was pushed to 2024.^[10]
