Tawas station is being constructed under contract J107. Located in a greenfield site north of the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) near Cleantech Park, the station is progressing quickly. The concourse level can be seen being constructed, with the majority of the station's piers already up and ready for the subsequent stage of works. Similar to Gek Poh station across the PIE to the south, Tawas station will sit atop a future road that runs beneath.

While one is able to catch a glimpse of the station's construction from south of the PIE, there do not appear to be many viaduct piers visible from this angle north of the station. Foliage towards the south also obstructs a good view for the time being.

Across the PIE however, viaduct columns can be seen sprouting up on the site of the former Pioneer Primary School. Work here has progressed quickly since the school was merged with another primary school and its former campus demolished. Now, several viaduct piers stand as the rebar skeleton has been woven together before formwork is installed ahead of casting.

To the north of the station however, several piers can be seen with launching of segmental box girders (SBGs) already being launched. The balanced cantilever technique is being used here, however without the use of lifting frames or hanger beams. Instead, a mobile crane had been used to lift the SBGs onto a platform from which they are joined to the main pier.
