Nicoll Highway MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle line (CCL) in Singapore. Located underneath Republic Avenue near the Kallang River, the station serves commercial and residential developments along Nicoll Highway such as the Golden Mile Complex and The Concourse. During its construction, the tunnels linking to the original station site caved in along with the highway on 20 April 2004, killing four people. Following an investigation, which found human error and organisational failures as causes of the collapse, the station was relocated. Alongside the other stations on Stages 1 and 2 of the CCL, the station opened on 17 April 2010. Designed by ONG & ONG, the station is 21.5 metres (71 ft) deep and has a black and grey scheme. Nicoll Highway station features a public artwork Re-claiming the Peripherals by Khiew Huey Chian, consisting of four reliefs depicting wild plants. (Full article...)
