Construction of new Brickland MRT station on North-South Line to begin next year

It noted that the company is currently involved in Cross Island Line Phase 2 projects under a joint venture, including the design and construction of Turf City MRT station and its tunnels. 

NS3A station will be located between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Gombak MRT stations on the North-South Line. 

It was previously reported that construction on the station was to start in 2024. In response to a query from CNA, an LTA spokesperson said that advance works to prepare for its construction, such as the diversion of utilities, had begun in March 2024.

“The main civil works, which are covered under this latest contract, are expected to start in the first half of 2026. NS3A station is targeted to be completed by 2034, as announced previously,” said the spokesperson.

When completed, the station will serve residential developments in the Keat Hong estate, Bukit Batok West, the Pavilion Park estate and the Brickland district in Tengah Town.

It will also serve educational institutions such as ITE College West, Swiss Cottage Secondary School and St Anthony’s Primary School by providing them with more direct access to the rail network, said LTA.
