Jalan Besar MRT station (DT22) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Downtown Line in Rochor, Singapore. The station is located under Jalan Besar, at the junction with Weld Road, hence its name.

The former Sungei Road Thieves' Market was located next to this station. Jalan Besar station is within walking distances to Rochor MRT station and Bugis MRT station, and it is not a valid transfer to these stations. Passengers will incur breaking of the journey.

History

The construction had begun in July 2011 when the Pasar Lane and Pitt Street was closed to make way for Downtown Line with the road realigned on 6 April 2012.

The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May 2017.[1]
