The station was first announced on 29 October 2015 as part of the Stage 6 of the Circle line. [4] Contract 883 for the construction of Cantonment station was awarded to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) at a sum of S$ 205 million ( US$ 148.45 million) in November 2017. Construction began that year, with expected completion in 2026. [5] [6] [7]
In November 2017, the old train platform canopy structures were relocated to facilitate construction works of the station to a restoration yard nearby. [8] In March 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has temporarily dismantled part of the platforms in Tanjong Pagar railway station to make way for the construction of Cantonment MRT station and is working with a heritage consultant and members of the heritage community on possible solutions for the affected platforms. [4] [7] [9] [10] In September 2020, the Sun Wu TBM managed to tunnel underneath the old Tanjong Pagar Railway station building.. [11]
Tunnelling works for the CCL6 were completed on 12 January 2022, with a final tunnel breakthrough from Prince Edward Road station into this station. [12] The tunnels between this station and the adjacent Prince Edward Road station were constructed only 6.7 metres (22 ft) below the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. Prior to the tunnelling works, an extensive survey was conducted to ensure that the tunnels do not cross through the building's foundations. Structures were erected to protect the railway station's facade and interior, and monitoring instruments were installed to watch out for any building settlement. [13] To construct the tunnels to Keppel station, the Keppel viaduct had to be closely monitored while underpinning the viaduct with new micro piles. Three bored piles were removed for the tunnelling works. [14]
When completed, the station is expected to be integrated with the Tanjong Pagar railway station. The affected canopy structures is expected to be reinstated to their original locations once the station is finished. [8] The size of the station will be 162 metres (531 ft) by 50 metres (160 ft) by 27 metres (89 ft) with three levels. [15] [16]
The station is a designated Civil Defence shelter. [17]
The station will have four exits along Keppel Road and Spottiswoode Park Road. These exits will serve Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Cantonment estate, Spottiswoode Park estate as well as future developments in the area. [17]
