Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Koornang Road level crossing in 1967.[4]

In March 2014, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced a grade separation project to replace the Koornang Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station. This included rebuilding the station above its previous location.[5]
