Location

Prince Edward MRT Station (CC32) is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle Line in Downtown Core, Singapore. The station was announced as part of the Stage 6 of the Circle Line and is slated for completion by 2025.

The station took its name from the nearby Prince Edward Road.

History

This station was first announced on 29 October 2015.[1]

Prince Edward station will be located near Bestway Building, Hock Teck See Temple and Haji Muhammad Salleh mosque. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said that these buildings will not be affected by construction works.

It added that while all efforts have been made to minimise land acquisition, four part lots of private land consisting of open areas, grass verges, container stacking lots and driveways will be acquired. LTA said as these lots will only be partially affected, the landowners will be able to remain in their current premises.[2]
