History
editOn 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Bedok South station would be part of the proposed Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Stage 5, consisting of 2 stations between Bedok South and Sungei Bedok, and was expected to be completed in 2024.[2][3]
Contract T311 for the design and construction of Bedok South Station and associated tunnels was awarded to China Jingye Engineering Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) for S$188 million in April 2016. Construction started in 2016.[4]
Stage 5 of the TEL was slated to commence passenger service in 2025 instead of 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Due to challenges of tunnelling near existing critical infrastructure, the station's construction was further delayed to 2026.[6]
