Tawas station in Singapore

Derived from the namesake road nearby, Lorong Tawas, it will be the Northern terminus of the West Branch of the Jurong Region Line from 2026 to 2028 before Peng Kang Hill MRT station opens. There will be two station names in the naming exercise - Tawas and Cleantech.

History

On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tawas 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 Tawas 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 Gek Poh, and associated viaducts.[6]

Location

The station complex will be situated at JTC CleanTech Park.[7] It is located within the Western Water Catchment planning area,[8] to the west of the Jurong Eco-Garden.[9]

Access to the station will be via 4 exits.[10]
