Bedok MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West LineinBedok, Singapore. Located at the town centre of Bedok, this station is built on a traffic island in the middle of New Upper Changi Road. It is one of the most crowded MRT stations in eastern Singapore. Despite the close proximity of the 3 MRT stations to one another, Bedok MRT Station (East–West MRT line), Bedok North MRT station (Downtown MRT line) and Bedok South MRT station (Thomson–East Coast MRT line) are not connected continuously.

History

[edit]

Platform level of Bedok station

The contract for the construction of this station, along with Kembangan station, was awarded to Ohbayashi Corporation in January 1986.^[1]

Bedok MRT station opened on 4 November 1989 along with all other EWL stations from BugistoTanah Merah.^[2]^[3]

Like many above-ground MRT stations, the station was initially built without platform screen doors to prevent passengers from falling off the platform and onto the train tracks. Installation of platform screen doors started on 4 November 2010 and started operations on 11 January 2011 along with Paya Lebar station as a safety precaution, followed by HVLS fans that subsequently began operations on 26 June 2012.^[4]^[5]
