Bright Hill MRT station (TE7) is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson-East Coast Line in Bishan planning area, Singapore. Scheduled for completion in 2020, this station serves the residential estate of Sin Ming.

Description

Bright Hill MRT station is a fully underground mass rapid transit station with four station access points.[1][2] The station serves the primarily industrial estate of Sin Ming and is located near landmarks such as Bishan Park Secondary School, Peirce Secondary School and Ai Tong School.[2] It is also located close to the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, Singapore's largest Mahayana Buddhist temple and the place from which this station derived its name from.[3][4]

History

On 29 August 2012, it was announced that a Mass Rapid Transit station would be built in the primarily industrial estate of Sin Ming as part of the new Thomson MRT line.[1] This underground station was given the working name "Sin Ming".[1] The station was subsequently given its official name of "Bright Hill MRT Station" on 27 August 2014 after a public voting exercise to determine the names of Thomson Line stations.[5] This name is the English translation of the location name "Kong Meng San" (光明山), where the Monastery is located.[4]

The Land Transport Authority awarded the contract to design and build the Bright Hill MRT station and its associated tunnels, worth SGD$454 million, to Penta-Ocean Construction on 21 February 2014.[6] The station is expected to be completed by 2020.[6]

Bright Hill MRT station was incorporated into the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line when the Land Transport Authority announced that the Eastern Region MRT Line and Thomson MRT line would be operating as a single line.[7]

This station will become an interchange station along the Cross Island Line when open in 2029.[8][9]
