Station Stadium (MRT Singapore)
The MRI -Station stage (CC 6) is an underground station on the Circle Line in Kallang, Singapore. This station is located in the Singapore Sports Hub on the east bank of the Kallang Basin and is named after the National Stadium . In addition to the National Stadium, other Singapore Sports Hub facilities (including the Kallang Wave Mall ), such as the Kallang Theater and Leisure Park Kallang , are located next to the stadium station.
Since the opening of the Circle Line Extension on January 14, 2012, trains from the Marina Bay MRT station have ended outside rush hour on platform A of this station. This station is also within walking distance of Mountbatten MRT Station on the Circle Line and Kallang MRT Station on the East West Line . The future MRT station Tanjong Rhu on the Thomson-East Coast Line is also in the immediate vicinity of this station, which is located directly opposite the Geylang River. It is also very close to Dunman High School .
history
On February 6, 2002, the traffic around the former national stadium had to be realigned for the construction of the station. To make the station easier to build, Stadium Boulevard has been closed from Stadium Drive to Stadium Walk .
Before the station opened, it was tentatively called "Boulevard" after the nearby street, Stadium Boulevard . The current name “Stadium” was later chosen to reflect the upcoming flagship development in the region, the new national stadium.
architecture
This station was designed by WOHA Architects and in 2010 was awarded the President's design prize as “Design of the Year”.
