History
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 (LTMP) 2040.{{Cite web |last=Chong |first=Aaron |date=25 May 2019 |title=New stations, line extensions planned for Singapore's rail network |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/new-mrt-stations-lines-lta-master-plan-880981 |access-date=6 January 2025 |website=CNA}} Opening by 2035, the station was officially announced alongside Sungei Kadut MRT station on 6 January 2025.{{Cite web |date=6 January 2025 |title=LTA {{!}} Three New Stations to Connect Downtown Line to North-South Line |url=https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2025/1/news-releases/three_new_stations_to_connect.html |access-date=6 January 2025 |website=Land Transport Authority}} 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.{{Cite web |last=Ong |first=Justin |date=6 January 2025 |title=Three new MRT stations to link Downtown Line from Bukit Panjang to North-South Line by 2035 |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/mrt-downtown-line-extension-bukit-panjang-station-north-south-line-4839726 |access-date=6 January 2025 |website=CNA}}
