First announced in August 2014, the station was constructed as part of stage 4 of the Thomson East Coast line. The station commenced operations on 23 June 2024.
History
editOn 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Marine Terrace station would be part of the proposed Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore. This segment was expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]
Contract T308 for the design and construction of Marine Terrace station and 1.78 kilometres (1.11 miles) of associated tunnels was awarded to Ssangyong Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. – Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. Joint Venture at S$361 million in January 2016. Construction started in 2016, with expected completion in 2024.[5][6][7] Initially expected to open in 2023, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the TEL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2024.[8] On 5 March 2024, the LTA announced that the station will open on 23 June that year.[9][10]
