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.

Pre-construction: Tanjong Rhu

The first announced station along the East Coast sector of the Thomson - East Coast Line (TEL) is Tanjong Rhu. Smack in the middle of the residential developments, this cosy neighbourhood will soon be temporarily torn up for a future convenient travel option. The station will be 16 metres deep as the tunnels need to rise to cross the Kallang - Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnels as it travels further eastwards. A long section of cut-and-cover tunnels will be built stretching over the KPE tunnels. What is now a shady grove of trees will give way to station entrances in future.
