Chinatown MRT Station (NE4/DT19), Singapore
Chinatown MRT Station (NE4/DT19) is an underground station of the Singapore MRT in Chinatown. Served by the North East Line, it is located between the Outram Park MRT Station (NE3) and the Clarke Quay MRT Station (NE5).
The Chinatown MRT Station was considered an engineering accomplishment due to the challenging construction site in which the station was located. The construction has to make sure that the surrounding historical buildings are not affected.
The station began operations on 20 June, 2003. In future it will be expanded into an interchange when the Downtown Line is built under and perpendicular to the existing station, between the future Telok Ayer MRT Station (DT18) and River Valley MRT Station (DT20).
