History

Planning

The concept of a northern DTL extension to the North–South Line was first touted in the Land Transport Authority's Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP) 2040. ^[1] Opening by 2035, the station was officially announced alongside Sungei Kadut MRT station on 6 January 2025. ^[2] With no working name announced, the station is codenamed DE1. It is part of a 4-kilometre extension of the DTL from Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT station, with construction set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

A vehicular and pedestrian bridge will be built to link DE1 to Choa Chu Kang North 7 and Woodlands Road. The station will also be accessible via an additional pedestrian overhead bridge to Yew Tee and cycling paths. ^[3]

Construction

On 15 January 2026, contract 991 for the tunnelling works between DE1 and Sungei Kadut stations was awarded to a joint venture between Woh Hup Engineering Pte Ltd and Underground Technology Engineering Construction Pte Ltd, at a sum of S$326 million (US$243.97 million). ^[4] Contract 992 for the design and construction of the station was awarded to Woh Hup Engineering the following month, at a sum of S$285 million (US$213.29 million). The contract also includes the construction of the vehicular and pedestrian bridges over Pang Sua Canal. ^[5] Originally scheduled to begin by end-2025, ^[3] construction of the station will start in Q2 2026 with completion in 2035.
