Lakeside MRT station

Lakeside MRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line in Jurong West, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the eponymous Jurong Lake and the Hong Kah and Taman Jurong residential estate. Other nearby landmarks include Yuan Ching Secondary School and the Jurong West Branch of the Housing and Development Board. First announced in May 1982 as Corporation, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The name was later changed in 1984 to better reflect its location adjacent to Jurong Lake. It commenced operations on 5 November 1988 along with the other stations of Phase II. By July 1990, it had its bicycle facilities expanded, with additional biking facilities installed in 2012. Platform screen doors were also completed in 2012, with noise barriers installed on viaducts in 2018. As a feature of the station, the curved roof supported by decorative red and green beams took inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture. There is also a heritage-themed mural that displays the history of nearby landmarks.
