History

On 25 January 2019, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Tavistock station would be part of the proposed Cross Island line (CRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, which will consist of 12 stations from the Aviation Park to Bright Hill stations. It 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] A second stage from Bright Hill to Jurong Lake District stations is targeted to open in 2032.

On 13 January 2022, the LTA awarded Contract CR115 to Sato Kogyo (S) at S$407 million (US$298.3 million).[5] The contract involves the design and construction of the station and associated tunnels.[6] Construction works for the station and tunnels are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2022, and expected to be completed by 2030. Due to the station's location in a built-up area, the launch shaft for the tunnel boring machine will be at a distance from the station site. Tunnelling through old alluvium soil, the boring machine has to be closely monitored for wear and tear.[5][7][8]
