History

This station was first announced on 29 August 2012.[2]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Shenton Way station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and Gardens by the Bay, and is expected to be completed in 2021.[3][4]

The Contract T220 for the design and construction of Shenton Way Station and associated tunnels was awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co., Ltd at a sum of S$368 million in May 2014. Construction will start in 2014, with completion in 2021.[5]
