History

When the station was built, two names were primarily considered for the station. They are Bedok Reservoir and Stonehills.

The Contract 927 for the design and construction of Bedok Reservoir MRT station and associated tunnels was awarded to Cooperativa Muratori & Cementisti - C.M.C di Ravenna at an estimated sum of S$196.46 million in July 2011.[1] Construction started in August 2011, except for the part of Bedok Reservoir Road whereby it was used to do sewage diversion works. This had been used for walkway realignment, but the remainder of construction started in September that year.

The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May that year.[2]
