Simei MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line in Tampines planning area, Singapore, at the centre of Simei housing estate flanked by Simei Street 1 and Simei Street 3 next to Eastpoint Mall. This station primarily serves Simei, a residential estate part of the larger Tampines New Town.
Simei station and the estate it serves is a Pinyin romanization of four beauties in Chinese, which in turn was named after four ancient Chinese women. [1]
The contract for the construction of Simei station, along with the stations and tracks for the segment of the MRT network between Changi Depot and Pasir Ris, was awarded to a joint venture between Resource Development Corporation and Sata Kogyo for S$92 million in March 1986. [2] Construction of the station began in May 1986, [3] and the station was opened with the East–West line from Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris on 17 December 1989. [4]
Like other existing aboveground stations at the time, half height platform screen doors were installed at SImei station by 2012. [5] High-volume low-speed fans were also installed on the platform's ceiling in 2011. [6]
Simei station is located on the East–West line, between Tampines and Tanah Merah, and has the station code "EW3". [7] The station features a dome-shaped concrete roof, similar to that found at several other stations on the EWL. [3]
