Enterprise MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Jurong Region line in Jurong West, Singapore.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Enterprise station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of a total of 7 stations. A 4 station extension to Jurong Pier at Boon Lay and a 3 station extension to Peng Kang Hill from Tawas. It is expected to be completed in 2029.[4]

A contract to design and construct Enterprise station and its associated viaducts was awarded to China Harbour (Singapore) Engineering Company Pte. Ltd. on 12 May 2021 at a sum of S$241 million (US$176.66 million). Construction will start in May 2021, with completion in 2029.[5]

Initially expected to open in 2028, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the JRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2029.[6]

Location

[edit]

The station complex will be straddled over the existing Jalan Boon Lay, at the junction with Enterprise Road. It is located in the Jurong West planning area between the Kian Teck and Chin Bee Subzones,[7] surrounded by flatted factories and industrial areas.

Access to the station will be via 4 exits on each side of Jalan Boon Lay.[8]
