History

When the North South Line Woodlands Extension was announced in the 1990s, Sungei Kadut (then named Kadut) was one of the stations part of the extension, but was made as a provisional station. The station was to be built only when the Sungei Kadut Industrial Estate was being redeveloped.[1][2]

Sungei Kadut station was eventually announced on 25 May 2019 as an interchange station for the Downtown Line (DTL) and North South Line (NSL), as part of the LTMP 2040 by the (LTA). The DTL is planned to extend from its current terminus at Bukit Panjang station to connect to the NSL at this station. The station will be an infill station built between the Kranji and Yew Tee stations, serving upcoming industrial developments in the area by JTC Corporation and the 18 hectares (0.18 km2) Agri-Food Innovation Park.[3][4][5]
