TEL 4 & 5 - A snapshot in October 2023

 

An overview of TEL4 & 5 stations TE23 to TE31 in October 2023.
Top (L - R): TE23 - Tanjong Rhu, TE24 - Katong Park, TE25 - Tanjong Katong
Middle (L - R): TE26 - Marine Parade, TE27 - Marine Terrace, TE28 - Siglap
Bottom (L - R): TE29 - Bayshore, TE30 - Bedok South, TE31 - Sungei Bedok

In addition to our quarterly updates of the various stations along this section of the line, we have a condensed update based on the months called the Snapshot feature. Drawing inspiration from last year's TEL3@Night, here's the October snapshot for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) phase 4 & 5 stations.

Phase 4 stations
All stations now have the LED train arrival indicators present at the station exits. Some exceptions would be the three exits at Marine Parade that connect to the commercial subway as these are at less advanced stages of construction than the other exits that connect directly to the main station box.

TE23 - Tanjong Rhu (Contract T303)
In a nutshell: The station exits and structure are mostly complete. Some sections of cladding need to be finished off but pretty much everything is in place. Commuter facilities still require finishing work as well.

Phase 5 stations
The remaining 2 stations under phase 5 of the line, and the final phase for a while until the TEL Extension (TELe) is announced, are at a slower pace of progress than their phase 4 counter parts. The stations are not illuminated at night and will be completed roughly a year later than the phase 4 stations.

TE30 - Bedok South (Contract T311)
In a nutshell: Station exits are under construction along Upper East Coast Road. The metal roof structures have been put into place and roofing works are being carried out.

With early closures beginning in order to bring line testing to the next stage, the opening of TEL4 is around the corner. The TEL5 stations are not too far behind in progress either and they should be well on their way to completion around the end of next year, ahead of the phase's targeted 2025 opening.

This post will also be available on Instagram & Facebook on 28 October 2023.
