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 2040. Opening by 2035, the station was officially announced alongside Sungei Kadut MRT station on 6 January 2025. 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.

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.
