Simei MRT station

Simei MRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line (EWL) in Tampines, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves nearby landmarks include Eastpoint Mall and Changkat Primary and Secondary School. The station's exterior has the characteristic dome-shaped segmented roof also seen on other elevated EWL stations in the eastern region of the country. First announced in May 1982 as Tampines South, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The name was later changed in 1983. Before constructing the station, 15,000 square metres (18, 000 sq yd) of land was acquired for viaducts leading to the station. It commenced operations on 17 December 1988 along with the other stations on the Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris stretch. Accessibility enhancements were completed in July 2011 as well as additional bicycle parking facilities in October 2012. Half-height platform screen doors and high-volume low-speed fans were installed by August 2011 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. The station was temporarily closed on some days in 2018 and 2024 for track works, with the former for a new signalling system for the line and the latter for integration works with the East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID).
