Chinatown MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North East (NEL) and Downtown (DTL) lines in Outram, Singapore. It is located near several landmarks, including the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Masjid Jamae (Chulia), Chinatown Point and People's Park Complex. Announced in 1996 and competed in 2003, the NEL station was one of the most challenging projects during that line's construction, requiring diversion of roads, and the preservation of the Garden Bridge. In 2007, it was announced that the NEL would interchange with the DTL at this station. The DTL platforms opened in 2013. Each of the six entrances has glass structures, with the Pagoda Street entrance having a pavilion-style transparent roof structure and the DTL entrance having an elliptical shape. The NEL concourse and platforms feature calligraphy as part of the The Phoenix's-Eye Domain by Tan Swie Hian, while the DTL concourse walls feature artworks of clothes lines as part of Flying Colours by Cheo Chai Hiang.
