Keppel MRT station (CC30) is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line, located in Bukit Merah planning area, Singapore. This station is part of Stage 6 of the Circle Line which will "close the circle" between HarbourFront MRT station and Marina Bay MRT station.
It will be located along Keppel Road, near to the Keppel Harbour. Slated for completion by 2025, Keppel station will serve the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront which will sit on the same plot of land currently occupied by the Port of Singapore.
"Keppel" is the working name of this station. In a public polling exercise conducted in end-2017 to determine the final name, three options were presented for this station: "Keppel", "Keppel Harbour" and "Keppel Port". The final result has yet to be announced.
The Keppel MRT station was first announced on 29 October 2015 as part of the Stage 6 of the Circle Line. It would be located along Keppel Road, near the Keppel Distripark and Keppel Terminal. It was announced that the station would enjoy a unique landscape theme; an undulating green roof (with tree-like columns) in a natural setting. An underground bicycle park was also planned, which would allow cyclists direct access to the concourse.
There are three options for the station name, Keppel, Keppel Harbour and Keppel Port. The first name was announced on 29 October 2015 as Keppel MRT station. Additionally, two names were also used, Keppel Harbour and Keppel Port from the previous suggestions.
