History

 

Site entrance to construction site

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Bayshore 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, and is expected to be completed in 2024.^[2][3][4]

Contract T310 for the design and construction of Bayshore Station and 4.3-kilometre (2.7 mi) associated bored tunnels was awarded to Woh Hup (Private) Ltd – Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) Pte Ltd Joint Venture at a sum of S$296 million (US$214.26 million) on 21 March 2016. Construction commenced in 2016, with completion in 2024.^[5][6][7][8]

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.^[9]
