history
The construction of the station was next to the Little India station the most complicated project on the entire Downtown Line. These challenges included different soil conditions and the realignment of the 20-meter-wide and 200-meter-long Rochor Canal in the vicinity to build the station. The canal was originally located in the middle of Rochor Canal Road and Sungei Road . The process of relocating the canal to the right of Sungei Road began in mid-2010 and most major construction and realignment work was completed by mid-2015. These efforts to overcome were recognized by the Singapore Concrete Institute on November 20, 2015 in the form of an award for outstanding performance in the building owner category.
The station opened on December 27, 2015 along with other Downtown Line Stage 2 stations.
