It opened in 1980, using the structure of a pre-metro station opened in 1966 in the same location.

The station was closed temporarily from 2020 until late 2024 to install platform screen doors in preparation for the transfer of this segment of U2 to the new driverless U5, which will take place between 2025 and 2027.
