History
The station was first announced on 20 August 2010 when the 16 stations of the 21-kilometre (13 mi) Downtown Line Stage 3 (DTL3) from the River Valley (now Fort Canning) to Expo stations were unveiled. The line was expected to be completed in 2017.[3][4][5] Contract 932 for the construction of Mattar station and associated tunnels was awarded to Sato Kogyo (S) Pte Ltd at a sum of S$199.85 million (US$158.89 million) in April 2011. Construction of the station and the tunnels was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of this year and was targeted to be completed in 2017.[6]
On 11 July 2012, a Downtown line 3 (DTL3) Tunnelling Works Ceremony was held at this station.[7]
The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May that year.[8]
