Lentor MRT station (TE5) is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson-East Coast Line in Ang Mo Kio planning area, Singapore. It will be located underneath Lentor Drive, next to its junction with Yio Chu Kang Road and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4.

History

This station was first announced on 29 August 2012.[1]

On 1 March 2018, a 48-year-old construction worker fell from a raised working platform 2.5 metres above the ground, while working in a tunnel connecting to Lentor station. The accident happened at 3.35am, and the worker was employed to dismantle components of tunnel boring machines, following the completion of tunnelling works. He was pronounced dead by paramedics at 4.30am. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said the chamber, which was being lowered using chain blocks, suddenly swung and hit the platform that one of the workers was standing on, causing him to fall from it.[2][3]
