Kembangan MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line in Bedok, Singapore. Built at the junction of Sims Ave East and Jalan Kembangan, part of the station stands directly above the Siglap Canal. The name Kembangan means “expansion” in Malay.
The construction contract for this station, along with Bedok station, was awarded to Ohbayashi Corporation, which partnered with Resources Development Corporation in January 1986.[2]
As with most of the above-ground stations built in the past along the East–West Line, they were built without platform screen doors. After several successful tests at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris and eventually, installation of the half-height screen doors to prevent commuters from falling onto the train tracks. Installation started in December 2010 and the platform screen doors started operations on 25 February 2011 with Kallang.[3]
This station is also installed with high-volume low-speed fans, which started operating on 14 July 2012, together with Paya Lebar station.
Privacy screens were installed from Kembangan MRT station to Lorong Mydin to minimise noise impact from residents, from September 2016.
This MRT station comprises of 2 elevated platforms in an Island Platform arrangement, where passengers heading towards Tanah Merah, Changi Airport and Pasir Ris will board from Platform A and heading towards the city, Paya Lebar, City Hall, Joo Koon and Tuas Link will board from Platform B. [4]
