History

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Marine Parade station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore, and is expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]

Contract T307 for the design and construction of Marine Parade Station was awarded to Samsung C&T Corporation at a sum of S$555 million on November 2015. Construction has started in 2016, with expected completion in 2023.[5][6][7]
