Clarke Quay MRT station

Clarke Quay MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East Line (NEL) in Singapore. Situated along Eu Tong Sen Street, near the junction of Merchant Road and North Canal Road, it is south of the Singapore River underneath The Central. The station serves Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, as well as other landmarks such as Hong Lim Park, The Riverwalk and the Swissotel Merchant Court. First announced in March 1996, the station was planned to serve the redevelopment of the Singapore River area. The construction of tunnels between this station and Dhoby Ghaut station was the second tunnel crossing under the Singapore River, and the first to use tunnel boring machines under the riverbed. Explosives were also used in the hard rock under Fort Canning Hill and under the North–South Line tunnels near Dhoby Ghaut station. The station was completed on 20 June 2003. The station is a Civil Defence shelter and the entrances' curvilinear features are designed to symbolise the flowing waters of the Singapore River. The station features an Art in Transit public artwork The Reflections by Chua Ek Kay.
