Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded a S$265.4 million contract for the design and construction of three Jurong Region Line (JRL) stations and associated viaducts to the John Holland Pty Ltd – McConnell Dowell South East Asia Pte Ltd Joint Venture. This contract covers the construction of Tengah Plantation, Tengah Park and Bukit Batok West stations - they are currently working names - and viaducts spanning 2.3 km.

The Tengah Plantation station will serve future residential developments in Tengah New Town, while The Tengah Park station will serve existing residential developments along Bukit Batok Road. The Tengah Park station will also cater to students and staff of several educational institutions nearby, including Dulwich College which is adjacent to the station and Millennia Institute.
