Construction begins for last 5 stations on northern stretch of Thomson-East Coast Line

Traffic ahead! 

Construction works for the last five MRT stations on the northern stretch of the 43-km Thomson-East Coast Line kicked off yesterday with a groundbreaking ceremony. The stations are Maxwell, Shenton Way, Marina Bay, Marina South and Gardens by the Bay.

In March, work started on Napier, Orchard Boulevard, Orchard, Great World, Havelock and Outram Park. 

The new line, to be operational in 2019, will have 31 new stations, with seven interchanges. 

The East Coast stretch of the Thomson-East Coast Line will serve Tanjong Rhu, Siglap, Marine Parade, Upper East Coast and Bedok South, though construction there has yet to begin. 

Four Thomson-East Coast Line stations will  feature underground bicycle parks.
