History

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Siglap 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]

Contract T309 for the design and construction of Siglap Station was awarded to John Holland Pty Ltd – Zhen Hua (Singapore) Engineering Pte. Ltd. Joint Venture at a sum of S$176 million on 21 March 2016. Construction began in 2016, with completion slated for 2024.^[4]

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.^[5] On 5 March 2024, the LTA announced that the station will open on 23 June that year.^[6][7]
