T308 - 2022 Year end update

 

25 November 2022 - Exit B along Marine Parade Road.

25 November 2022 - Exit A which will be the station's main exit.

All the exits at Marine Terrace station have now had their concrete structures cast. Work has progressed onto the installation of the metal frames for the roof portions. Escalators also appear to have been installed at most of the exits at the station.

T307 - 2022 Year end update

 

21 November 2022 - Exit A along Marine Parade Road, opposite Parkway
Parade shopping mall just outside Roxy Square.

25 November 2022 - Exit C next to Parkway Centre.

3 December 2022 - Exit B located at the junction of Marine Parade &
Joo Chiat Roads.

Marine Parade station is located right at the heart of the busy neighbourhood and right next to Parkway Parade mall. Directly abutting the station is a cripple siding which will also serve as an underground commercial linkway. Shops are envisioned to be leased out here offering benefits to users as they commute from the station to their destinations. In addition to the commercial linkway, we also understand that as the Marine Parade Community Club (CC) undergoes refurbishment, a new exit via the basement will be constructed to allow for visitors to connect directly to the MRT station. This exit will likely open in the future once the CC is reopened after reconstruction.

21 November 2022 - A view of Exits A & C along Meyer Road.

Continuing our trek eastwards, our next stop is Tanjong Katong station. Due to site constraints, it is another side stacked station to fit within a very tight site. Some homes were also acquired previously to facilitate the construction of the station directly beneath the homes. Work is taking shape with metal supports reminiscent of the V, featured prominently along the Circle Line stages 4 and 5, clearly visible at the station's exits along Tanjong Katong Road South & Meyer Road.

T305 - 2022 Year end update

21 November 2022 - The northern station exit with cladding visible.

21 November 2022 - The southern station exit, within the Katong Park site.

 Katong Park station is the first side-stacked station along the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) phase 4 moving eastwards. The station will feature a simple design, much like that of Napier's station, where the faregates are co-located at the upper platform & concourse level. However, unlike Napier, there will be no intermediate mezzanine level at this station. Do keep reading to the end for a glimpse at the cut-aways from the 3D architectural models.

T303 - 2022 Year end update

 

21 November 2022 - A view of the southern exit of the station.

21 November 2022 - A close up of the station's southern exit.

Tanjong Rhu station is the first of several civil defence shelters located along the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) phase 4. The station will have 2 exits located in the heart of the Tanjong Rhu enclave. An interesting fact about the station is that the 2 side platforms do not exactly align with each other, hence there is a portion that protrudes out on either side so to speak. Construction works are coming along with cladding for the station exits and ventilation shaft yet to be begin.

Founders' Memorial station was a late addition to the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) phase 4, having been planned initially as the Gardens Bay East shell station. It was announced for a full fit out on 7th January 2019 for revenue service commencement at a yet to be announced date. These works would enable trains to run through the station without stopping and the station to be able to open with minimal additional work, much like Mount Pleasant and Marina South stations on the neighbouring phase 3 section that was recently opened.

Earlier when we were doing our recap of the National Day Virtual Tour, we mentioned that we'd drop by again one day to try obtain better pictures of the station progress. We're back with other images and also some throwback glimpses of the station's interior through images sourced online from contractors.
