History
Construction of the station commenced in May 1982 on a newly reclaimed area of Aldrich Bay, and was carried out by Gammon Construction. Approximately {{Convert|110348|m3|4=0}} of material was excavated during the course of construction. The station is around {{Convert|12|m|ftin}} deep and {{Convert|190|m|ftin}} long, and was built "bottom-up" within a steel sheet piled cofferdam. The structure was designed to support the new Island Eastern Corridor, an elevated motorway, directly above it.{{cite book |title=MTRC Island Line Opening Commemorative Book |date=1985 |publisher=Mass Transit Railway Corporation |pages=15–17}}
