Cantonment MRT Station (CC31) is a future MRT station in Singapore. The station was announced as part of Stage 6 of the Circle Line in 2015 and slated to be completed in 2025. It is located at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.

History

This station was first announced on 29 October 2015.[1] It takes its name from the nearby Cantonment Road.

Cantonment station will be built in the vicinity of the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, with its design inspired by the old train station.

The heritage building, which has been designated as a National Monument, will not be affected, the Land Transport Authority said. However, parts of the former railway station's platform will need to be removed for the new underground Cantonment station.

LTA is looking at several options, which include dismantling and then reinstating the old platform, or creating a replica of the old platform.
