A currently unnamed underground Mass Rapid Transit station in Singapore, coded as DE1, was announced on 6 January 2025. Located in Sungei Kadut, it will serve the Downtown Line (DTL) upon its expected opening in 2035.

History

Planning

The concept of a northern DTL extension to the North–South Line was first touted in the Land Transport Authority's Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP) 2040.^[1] Opening by 2035, the station was officially announced alongside Sungei Kadut MRT station on 6 January 2025.^[2] With no working name announced, the station is codenamed DE1. It is part of a 4-kilometre extension of the DTL from Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT station, with construction set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

A vehicular and pedestrian bridge will be built to link DE1 to Choa Chu Kang North 7 and Woodlands Road. The station will also be accessible via an additional pedestrian overhead bridge to Yew Tee and cycling paths.^[3]

Construction

On 15 January 2026, contract 991 for the tunnelling works between DE1 and Sungei Kadut stations was awarded to a joint venture between Woh Hup Engineering Pte Ltd and Underground Technology Engineering Construction Pte Ltd, at a sum of S$326 million (US$243.97 million).^[4] Originally scheduled to begin by end-2025,^[3] construction of the station will start in Q2 2026 with completion in 2035.
