Esplanade MRT Station (CC3) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle MRT Line in Singapore. It is located next to the War Memorial Park and Suntec City Convention Centre. It will link to CityLink Mall and the proposed underground extension link from Raffles City.
On 30 April 2008, the underpass linking CityLink and Suntec City was reopened to the public after five years of closure. It's also the first of the Circle Line stations where the public can have a glimpse of the interior. The underpass had been closed since 2003 to facilitate the construction of the station and pedestrians had to use a temporary covered overhead bridge to cross Raffles Boulevard.
The bridge started being dismantled on 12 May 2008. [1]
