Cantonment MRT station


Cantonment MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle line, situated in Bukit Merah planning area, Singapore. This station is part of Stage 6 of the Circle line which will "close the circle" between HarbourFront MRT station and Marina Bay MRT station and it will be located along Everton Road near the junction of Spottiswoode Park Road.
Cantonment station will be built underneath the historic Tanjong Pagar railway station which ceased operations on 1 July 2011. Once construction is completed in 2025, this station will provide MRT access to the future Greater Southern Waterfront development.
