Bedok South MRT Station (TE30): Where It Is, When It Opens and How Far It Is from the New Upper Changi Road Site

Short answer, as at 12 October 2026: Bedok South MRT station (TE30) is on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), at 620 Upper East Coast Road. It is not open yet. LTA's target for its stage of the line is the second half of 2026, and no opening day has been announced. It is also not the closest station to the New Upper Changi Road site: measured in a straight line, Bedok South station is about 2.5 km from the site boundary, while Bedok MRT on the East-West Line is about 230 m away.

Where Bedok South MRT station is

OneMap, the Singapore Land Authority's map, lists Bedok South MRT Station (TE30) at 620 Upper East Coast Road, Singapore 468324. It sits between Bayshore (TE29) to the west and Sungei Bedok (TE31 / DT37) to the east.

URA's Bayshore Drive land sale is built around this station. URA says the mixed-use development there will be integrated with Bedok South MRT station, a bus interchange and retail space, with up to 1,280 homes. URA awarded that site on 20 July 2026 to Gemini Residential Pte. Ltd. and Gemini Trustee Pte. Ltd. (as trustee-manager of Gemini Mall Trust). Bayshore Drive is a separate land sale from New Upper Changi Road, with a different developer.

When TE30 opens

Bedok South and Sungei Bedok make up Stage 5 of the TEL (TEL5). LTA's dated statements:

Any specific opening day you see elsewhere is a guess until LTA announces it. For the full timeline, see the Bedok South and Sungei Bedok opening date guide.

How far TE30 is from the New Upper Changi Road site

URA's tender release in May 2026 describes the New Upper Changi Road site as "located near Bedok MRT station". URA's land sales map also names Bedok on the East-West Line as the site's nearest station. Measured from URA's mapped site boundary to the station points on OneMap, the distances are:

These are straight-line figures, not walking routes. Real walking distances are longer and depend on where the development's gates go, which will only be known once a site plan is released. For TEL stations, OneMap gives one point per station rather than individual exits, so treat those figures as approximate.

What this means for daily travel: the station a resident here would use every day is Bedok on the East-West Line. Bedok South station matters more for the Bayshore side of the estate, around Upper East Coast Road and Bayshore Drive.

Where the TEL goes once you are on it

LTA lists the completed TEL as 32 stations over 43 km, with interchanges to the East-West, North-South, North East, Circle, Downtown and Cross Island Lines. Stops on the line include:

• City and Marina Bay: Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay, Shenton Way, Maxwell and Outram Park.
• Orchard and Thomson: Orchard, Orchard Boulevard, Stevens, Caldecott and Upper Thomson.
• North: Lentor, Springleaf and the three Woodlands stations.
• East coast: Tanjong Rhu, Katong Park, Tanjong Katong, Marine Parade, Marine Terrace, Siglap and Bayshore, then Bedok South and Sungei Bedok in Stage 5.

From Bedok on the East-West Line, you can change to the TEL at Outram Park, which LTA lists as a TEL interchange with the East-West Line. Once Stage 5 opens, Sungei Bedok adds a TEL and Downtown Line interchange in this part of the east. LTA has not published journey times for these trips, so none are given here.
