Initially slated to open along with the rest of the TEL3 stations, it was announced in November 2021 that the station would only open when its surrounding areas were further developed, even though it had been structurally completed. Since operations for TEL3 began on 13 November 2022, trains have skipped this station and continued towards Gardens By The Bay or Marina Bay.

History

Marina South station was first announced as part of the 22-station Thomson Line on 29 August 2012.[2][3] In July 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded the contract for the design and construction of the station and associated tunnels to a joint venture between Sinohydro Corp and Sembcorp Design and Construction at S$488 million (US$385.1 million).[4][5]

On 15 August 2014, the LTA further announced that the TSL would merge with the Eastern Region Line to form the Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL). Marina South station, part of the proposed line, would be constructed as part of TEL3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and Gardens by the Bay.[6][7]

With restrictions imposed on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TEL3 completion date was pushed to 2022.[8] On 23 November 2021, it was announced that the station's opening would be pushed to a later date until its surrounding areas were further developed.[9]
