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

History

On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Jurong West 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]

On 20 November 2019, Contract J105 for the design and construction of Jurong West Station and associated viaducts was awarded to China Railway 11 Bureau Group (Singapore Branch) at a sum of S$210.1 million. Construction starts in 2020, with completion in 2026.[5][6] Contract J105 also includes the design and construction of Bahar Junction Station, and associated viaducts.[7][8]

Location

The station will be straddled over the existing Jurong West Avenue 2, just west of the junction with Jurong West Street 23, and east of the junction with Jurong West Avenue 4, Jalan Bahar and Jalan Boon Lay. It is located within the Jurong West planning area between the Boon Lay Place and Wenya Subzones,[9] with a St. Joseph's Home and Singapore Boy's Home to the north, and a housing estate to the south.

Access to the station will be via 3 exits on each side of Jurong West Avenue 2.[10]
