Location

Xilin MRT station (DT36) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Downtown Line in Tampines planning area, Singapore.[1]

The station is located at the junction of Xilin Avenue, Changi South Avenue 3 and Laguna Golf Green.

History

The extension to the Downtown MRT Line was first announced during the revealing of the Land Transport Master Plan 2013 on 17 January 2013. The line will be extended to what was known as the Eastern Region Line (presently the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line) by 2025, so as to enhance the accessibility between the two rail lines and allow commuters to conveniently make transfers.[2]

This station was first announced on 15 August 2014 [3] and is targeted for completion in 2024, a year earlier than initially scheduled.[4]

To facilitate the construction for the Downtown Line 3 Extension Xilin station and tunnels, part of Changi South Avenue 3 between Xilin Avenue and Changi South Avenue 2 will be temporarily closed to traffic from 31 January 2017 until the end of construction in 2024.[5]
