Downtown MRT Station (DT17) is the name for an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Downtown Line Stage 1 in Singapore, formerly known as the Downtown Extension. It will connect the southern part of Marina Bay where developments such as The Sail @ Marina Bay & the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) lie to the current Central Business District (CBD). The station will serve future commercial developments within the Marina Bay vicinity, and will be located under Central Boulevard.[1]
Like Changi Airport station, fare gates will be on the same level as the train platform. Similar to Dover, Braddell and Bishan MRT Stations, the Downtown Line station will have side platforms, similar to Chinatown and Telok Ayer, breaking Braddell and Bishan as the three continuous stations to have side platforms in a line.

[edit] Incidents
[edit] Soil near station sinks
Nearby Marina Boulevard had to be temporarily closed and traffic was diverted on the morning of June 18, 2008 after soil on a construction site next to the road sank. No one was injured. Vehicles coming from Collyer Quay and Finlayson Green were diverted to Raffles Quay.
Urban Redevelopment Authority said the hole measured 5 metres wide and was 2.5 metres deep. It sank at about 9.10am. This caused a hole next to the Marina Boulevard slip road leading towards East Coast Parkway.
URA said the soil subsidence is located within the construction site where construction works for the common services tunnel is being carried out.[2]
