History

Construction started in July 1999 with the award of civil contract CC-212 for the West Rail line station to HK ACE JV at a contract sum of HK$1,386 million. The topping-out was marked on 26 February 2002 by KCR chairman Michael Tien and transport legislator Miriam Lau.[1] It was opened to the public on 20 December 2003 with the commencement of West Rail service.

The elevated station is located above the Tuen Mun Nullah. To support the station, 352 columns were built in the river bed, impacting the water flow. As a result, the river was widened by about 17 metres along the length of the station to maintain its drainage capacity.[1]
