Nanyang Gateway MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region line in Western Water Catchment, Singapore. The station will be located within the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
History[edit]
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 this station 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 1.4 km (0.87 mi) of associated viaducts – Contract J113[5] – was awarded to Hwa Seng Builder Pte Ltd at S$263 million (US$192.8 million) on 6 April 2021. Construction is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2021, with expected completion in 2029.[6]
Station details[edit]
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]
