Siglap 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 at Marine Parade Road, near to Victoria School and St. Andrew's Autism Centre.

History[]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Siglap 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.^[2]^[3]

Contract T309 for the design and construction of Siglap Station was awarded to John Holland Pty Ltd – Zhen Hua (Singapore) Engineering Pte. Ltd. Joint Venture at a sum of S$176 million on 21 March 2016. Construction began in 2016, with completion slated for 2024.^[4]

Initially expected to open in 2023, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the CRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2024.^[5]
