History

On 25 January 2019, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Pasir Ris East station would be part of the proposed Cross Island line (CRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1 (CRL1), consisting of 12 stations between Aviation Park and Bright Hill. CRL1 was expected to be completed in 2029.[1][2][3] However, the restrictions imposed on construction works due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to delays and the CRL1 completion date was pushed by one year to 2030.[4]

The contract for the design and construction of Pasir Ris East Station and associated tunnels was awarded on 7 February 2022 to a joint venture between Singapore Engineering & Construction Pte. Ltd. and Sinohydro Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) at S$363 million (US$266.1 million). Construction of the station will start in the second quarter of 2022. The works will involve the installation of an earth retaining and stabilising structure and excavation works of up to 25 metres (82 ft) deep.[5] The roads and utilities are to be diverted in stages to facilitate construction works.[6] The surrounding structures, such as the residential blocks, are to be closely monitored for any ground movement.[7]
