Location

Cantonment station will be built underneath the historic Tanjong Pagar railway station which ceased operations on 1 July 2011.[1] Once construction is completed in 2025, this station will provide MRT access to the future Greater Southern Waterfront development.

History

The station was first announced on 29 October 2015 as part of the Stage 6 of the Circle line.[2]

The Contract 883 for the construction of Cantonment station was awarded to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) at a sum of S$205 million in November 2017. Construction began in 2017, with completion in 2025.[3][4][5]

As of March 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has temporarily dismantled part of the platforms in Tanjong Pagar railway station to make way for the construction of Cantonment MRT station.[6][7]
