Gardens by the Bay MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson-East Coast Line in Marina South, Singapore. It is the nearest MRT station to Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage.[3]

The station will serve as the southern terminus of the Thomson-East Coast Line from 2022 to 2024, where it would be replaced by Bayshore when the fourth phase of the line opens.

History

The station was first announced on 29 August 2012 as part of the Thomson line (TSL).[4][5] Contract T228 for the design and construction of Gardens by the Bay Station and associated tunnels was awarded to Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd – Bachy Soletanche Singapore Pte Ltd Joint Venture at S$331 million (US$247 million) in July 2014. Construction started in 2014, with an initial set completion date of 2021.[6]

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) further announced that the TSL would merge with the Eastern Region line to form the Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). Gardens by the Bay station, part of the proposed line, would be constructed as part of TEL3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and this station.[7][8] With restrictions imposed on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TEL3 completion date was pushed by a year to 2022.[9] On 9 March 2022, Transport Minister S Iswaran announced in Parliament that TEL 3 would open in the second half of that year.[10]

As announced during a visit by Transport Minister S. Iswaran at the Outram Park and Maxwell stations on 7 October 2022, the TEL station will begin operations on 13 November.[11][12][13]
