Peng Kang Hill station in Singapore

Peng Kang Hill MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region Line in Western Water Catchment, Singapore.[1][2][3]

It will be the Northern terminus of the West Branch of the Jurong Region Line. Trains entering service at this station will terminate at Choa Chu Kang via Bahar Junction.

History[]

On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Peng Kang Hill station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of a total of 7 stations. A 4 station extension to Jurong Pier at Boon Lay and a 3 station extension to Peng Kang Hill from Tawas. It is expected to be completed in 2029.[4]

This station was named after the nearby Peng Kang Hill, in the SAFTI Live Firing Area.


Initially expected to open in 2028, 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 2029.[5]

Location[]

The station complex will be straddled over the existing Nanyang Drive, north of the junction with Peng Kang Avenue and Nanyang Link in Nanyang Technological University (NTU). It is located in the Western Water Catchment planning area,[6] serving the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (Yunnan Garden Campus), Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, and School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

Access to the station will be via 3 exits along Nanyang Drive.[7]
