Learn more about the Woodleigh MRT

Woodleigh MRT Station is an underground station on the North-East Line near the Woodleigh and Bidadari planning subzones. At the intersection of Upper Aljunied Road and Youngberg Terrace, the station gets located beneath Upper Serangoon Road. The station, along with Buangkok, was one of two finished MRT stations that remained closed when the NEL opened on June 20, 2003. Due to a lack of commuter traffic, the station remained closed until June 20, 2011, reopened to service the then-new Stamford American International School and nearby growing residential units, coinciding with the North-East Line’s 8th anniversary. The Woodleigh MRT station will also assist in the upcoming Bidadari housing estate in the Bidadari neighborhood.

These etched metal panels converted a piece of urban life in Singapore at the turn of the millennium into commuter prints etched on zinc plates on the station walls. These candid, unadorned black-and-white photographs of family, friends, and coworkers will serve as a visual reflection on our lives and times for future generations.
