DE1 station in Singapore

A currently unnamed underground Mass Rapid Transit station in Singapore, coded as DE1, was announced on 6 January 2025. Located in Sungei Kadut, it will serve the Downtown line (DTL) upon its expected opening in 2035.

History

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]

The station will serve current and future amenities in Yew Tee and Sungei Kadut.
