On 30 March 2026, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) launched a tender for a land parcel along Bayshore Drive, where the upcoming Bedok South Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) will be developed.
First proposed in the URA’s 2019 Draft Master Plan, the project will form part of a mixed-use development integrated with the Thomson-East Coast Line Bedok South MRT Station, alongside retail spaces and new residential housing.
According to the site Technical Conditions of Tender published by URA, the bus interchange will feature a direct connection to the MRT station. Plans also indicate two vehicular access points: a primary junction linking to Bayshore Drive, and a contingency left-in-left-out access via Bayshore Avenue.
Tender documents also confirm that the Upper East Coast Bus Terminal will be demolished, with works to be undertaken by the successful land parcel tenderer. Opened in December 2001, the terminal currently serves eight bus routes in the Upper East Coast area.
Its removal will make way for the construction of Bayshore Drive, a new three-lane dual-carriageway road linking to Upper East Coast Road and Kew Drive via a four-way junction. Part of the existing terminal sits within the planned carriageway, necessitating its clearance.

Well it finally came, no surprise upper east coast ter is getting scrapped for bedok south int
Really disappointing that the ITH is at Bedok South instead of Sungei Bedok, where it could serve both the DTL and TEL. Ofc they could’ve just extended DTL one stop more too I guess but whatever what’s done is done. Just means 10/14/TEL will have to pick up the slack for crowds heading eastwards.
Looks like service 14 might get shortened to clementi interchange bedok south ITH in the future
Most probably 42 and 135 also will terminate here with possibly 229.Bedok is quite huge and they can’t depend on Bedok ITH alone. Well maybe if got land space LTA might consider to built a new bus depot for Bedok North too.
A quick measurement of the area of this new ITH…shocked that Bedok Sth ITH is BIGGER than even Yishun ITH and a majority of other ITH too
What are they putting in here that necessitates this ITH to take up such a huge plot
The size of the plot is of little consequence; what truly matters is the size of the bus interchange. In this instance, the interchange appears to be of average scale.
A larger plot would merely result in a greater number of commercial and residential units within the Integrated Transport Hub development, compared with others of its kind.
