History

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tanjong Katong (then named 'Amber') station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore, and is expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]

Contract T306 for the design and construction of Amber Station was awarded to Woh Hup (Private) Limited at a sum of S$146 million on April 2016. Construction began in 2016, with completion in 2023.[5][6]
