First announced in August 2012 as part of the Thomson line (TSL), the station was constructed as part of TEL Phase 3 (TEL3) after plans for the TSL and the Eastern Region line (ERL) were merged. Along with the TEL3 stations, Gardens by the Bay station opened on 13 November 2022. The station will serve as the eastern terminus of the Thomson–East Coast line from 2022 to 2024, where it would then be replaced by Bayshore when stage four of the line opens.

History

The station was first announced on 29 August 2012 as part of the Thomson line (TSL).[3][4] 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 S$331 million (US$247 million) in July 2014. Construction started in 2014, with an initial set completion date of 2021.[5]

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) further announced that the TSL would merge with the Eastern Region line to form the Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). Gardens by the Bay station, part of the proposed line, would be constructed as part of TEL3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and this station.[6][7] With restrictions imposed on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TEL3 completion date was pushed by a year to 2022.[8] On 9 March 2022, Transport Minister S Iswaran announced in Parliament that TEL 3 would open in the second half of that year.[9]

As announced during a visit by Transport Minister S. Iswaran at the Outram Park and Maxwell stations on 7 October 2022, the TEL station began operations on 13 November 2022.[10][11][12]
