Pre-construction: Marine Parade

Marine Parade estate has long clamoured for an MRT station to connect Singapore's first estate built on reclaimed land with the rest of the island. With the Thomson - East Coast Line (TEL), this wish of the residents here will finally be answered. The station has 6 entrances which stretch over the station itself to the end of the cut-and-cover tunnels next to the station housing the cripple siding for the line.
