Bedok South station, being constructed under contract T311, is the first station along the 5th section of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and is scheduled to open in 2 years' time. To date, escalators have been installed in 3 of the 5 station exits, with structural works on-going at the remaining 2. For the exits located in the greenfield site, Exit 2 and Exit 3, the metal frame for the station roof is also being installed.

Work on all exits is progressing steadily with more and more signs that the exits are hitting milestones in their development. The subway connecting to Exit 1 was recently backfilled, allowing for the surface structure to begin taking shape and become more visible. Likewise at Exit 4, the structure has begun emerging above street level. During our visit last year, Exit 5 did not have any escalators installed but they have since been place in, allowing for work on the metal roof frame to commence soon.

The station also has 2 ventilation and ancillary buildings, one located opposite Exit 1 and another near to Temasek Secondary School. Both buildings are in the midst of having equipment installed before cladding is likely to be installed to soften the overall look.
