Contract T312 is for the construction of Sungei Bedok station and associated cut & cover tunnels to the west of the station. These tunnels will house tracks allowing trains to switch directions before or after leaving the station on their westward journeys towards Woodlands North once operational. As a result of the construction technique chosen, there is some incidental space above the tracks which will be sealed up initially. The long-term plan is that this space can eventually be leased out as commercial space - be it for retail, food & beverage or even potentially offices or education centres.
This section of incidental space stretches from the location of the current Upper East Coast bus terminal up to Exits 1 and 2 of the Sungei Bedok station. Due to provisions for fire evacuation once the incidental space is opened up for commercial use in future, several emergency egress points need to be constructed, resulting in the numerous surface structures seen along Upper East Coast Road between the bus terminal and the station building. These structures are often confused by passersby as part of the station building.

Over the past quarter, works have been progressing at the station site with the reinstatement of the eastbound carriageway around Exit 2. The westbound carriageway was recently shifted onto the permanent roadway next to Exit 1. A new road median is being constructed at the end of Upper East Coast Road where it turns into Bedok Road. This section of the road will be turned into a T-junction in future when a roadway is built across the station to connect to Laguna Golf Green.
The contractor for the station has also recently launched a Telegram channel to provide updates for the contract. A recent circular provides residents and stakeholders an idea of the upcoming works over the next quarter moving forward.
