History

On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tengah station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region Line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, JRL (West), consisting of 10 stations between Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and Tawas, and is expected to be completed in mid-2028.[4]

Contract J102 for the design and construction of Tengah Station and associated viaducts was awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. (Singapore) Pte Ltd at a sum of S$465.2 million (US$337.6 million in 2024). Construction will start in 2020, with completion in mid-2028.[5] The contract also includes the design and construction of Choa Chu Kang station and Choa Chu Kang West station, and associated viaducts and A&A works to the existing Choa Chu Kang station complex.[6]

Initially expected to open in 2026, restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the completion of Phase 1, including Tengah station, to 2027.[7] Due to construction and testing delays, the completion date was further delayed to mid-2028.

Location

The station will be co-located with Tengah Mall and Tengah Bus Interchange (Integrated Transport Hub), one of the basic necessities for Tengah to thrive as a new town.[8][9]
