History
When the station was built, it was originally named Bedok Town Park. Two names were primarily used for the station – Town Park and Bedok North. In the end, on January 2013, it was renamed to Bedok North.
Construction had only started on 6 June 2011, with two hoardings being sealed at Block 620 of Bedok Reservoir Road and the implementation of overhead bridge structure. Road realignment has started since then for Bedok North Road.
The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May that year.[1]
