Serangoon MRT Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serangoon MRT Station (NE12/CC13) is an underground station on the North East Line, Singapore. The station is located in the Serangoon Central area, at the intersection of Upper Serangoon Road and Serangoon Central. This station sees relatively heavy usage during peak periods, because a number of bus services which used to go to the city area now terminate at Serangoon bus interchange instead.
There are plans by Land Transport Authority to relocate the Serangoon bus interchange to the site above the Circle Line part of this station as part of an integrated development.
The artwork in this station under the Art in Transit programme is Memories of Childhood by Eng Joo Heng.
In February 2005, excavation for the tunnels under the existing North-East Line station for the Circle Line interchange station hit an unusually large body of groundwater. This caused settlement of the North-East Line station as well as the Serangoon viaduct directly above the station, with the station sinking by 1 cm. As a result, trains bound for Punggol pulling off the station have to pass by the affected area at a lower speed.
