Gek Poh MRT station is a proposed Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station along the Jurong Region Line in Jurong West, Singapore.[1][2][3]

History

On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Gek Poh station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, JRL (West), consisting of 10 stations between Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and Tawas, and is expected to be completed in 2026.[4]

Contract J107 for the design and construction of Gek Poh Station and associated viaducts was awarded to Sembcorp Design and Construction Pte Ltd at a sum of S$226.6 million. Construction will start in 2020, with completion in 2026.[5] Contract J107 also includes the design and construction of Tawas, and associated viaducts.[6]

Location

The station complex will be straddled over the existing Jurong West Street 75, between the junction with Jurong West Street 74, and the junction with Jurong West Avenue 5 and Jurong West Street 82. It is located within the Jurong West planning area in the Yunan Subzone,[7] nested by multiple housing estates, with Gek Poh Shopping Centre and Gek Poh Ville Community Club to the north.

Access to the station will be via 3 exits on each side of Jurong West Street 75.[8]
