History
Kaki Bukit Avenue 1 was closed from 28 August 2011 to 23 April 2016 to facilitate the construction of the station. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) widened the adjacent roads, Jalan Tenaga and Jalan Damai, by one lane in each direction. On 24 April 2016, selected bus routes such as 5, 15, 58, 59 and 87 were diverted to ply the reopened stretch of Kaki Bukit Avenue 1. Bus 585 continued to travel along Jalan Tenaga and Jalan Damai.[1]
The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May that year.[2]
