History

On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Nanyang Gateway station would be part of the proposed JRL.[1] [2] The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of 7 stations – a 4 station extension to from Boon Lay and a 3 station extension to Peng Kang Hill from Tawas. It was expected to be completed in 2028.[3] However, the restrictions on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays, with the completion date pushed to 2029.[4]

The contract for the design and construction of the Nanyang Gateway and Nanyang Crescent stations and 1.4km (00.9miles) of associated viaducts – Contract J113[5] – was awarded to Hwa Seng Builder Pte Ltd at S$263 million (US$ million) on 6 April 2021. Construction is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2021, with expected completion in 2029.[6]

Station details

The station will serve the JRL and will be located between the Tawas and Nanyang Crescent stations. The official station code will be JW3.[7] The station will span over Nanyang Avenue and has four entrances, serving the NTU Hall of Residence and Staff Residence.[8]
