History
On 25 January 2019, LTA announced that Teck Ghee station would be part of the proposed Cross Island Line (CRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, consisting of 12 stations between Aviation Park and Bright Hill, and is expected to be completed in 2030.[4][5][6]
Contract N109A, which encompasses the design and construction of Teck Ghee station box, was awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) at a sum of S$615.9 million in January 2019. The contract also includes the design and construction of a section of the North South Corridor tunnel between Sin Ming Avenue and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, and relevant commuter facilities.[7][8] As Teck Ghee station will be superimposed with the North South Corridor and surface road, the station box will be constructed initially, and a subsequent contract will be awarded to complete the station.
Initially expected to open in 2029, the restrictions on construction works due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to a delay of the opening to 2030.[9]
