Gardens by the Bay MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson-East Coast Line in Marina South, Singapore. It will be the nearest MRT station to Gardens by the Bay Bay South and Marina Barrage.[2]

The station serves as a terminus of the Thomson-East Coast Line from 2021 to 2023, where it would be replaced by Bayshore as the fourth phase of the line opens.

Gardens by the Bay station is one of the three MRT stations in Singapore to have an official Malay name. The other stations are Botanic Gardens MRT station and Founders' Memorial MRT station.

History

This station was first announced on 29 August 2012.[3]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Gardens by the Bay station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and Gardens by the Bay, and is expected to be completed in 2021.[4][5]

Contract T228 for the design and construction of Gardens by the Bay Station and associated tunnels was awarded to Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd – Bachy Soletanche Singapore Pte Ltd Joint Venture at a sum of S$331 million on July 2014. Construction started in 2014, with completion in 2021.[6]
