History
The underpass linking CityLink Mall and Suntec City Mall 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.
On 30 April 2008, the underpass 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. During the opening of the underpass, Suntec City Mall gave away free coffee, chocolates and sweets to pedestrians to mark the reopening of the underpass. There were also music and line dancing performances.
The bridge underwent dismantling starting 12 May 2008.[1]
Architecture
A black and white artwork by the late Lim Mu Hue which features shadow puppetry and other performances enjoyed by the early settlers of Singapore was recreated on a large wall and is located within the walkway within the station between Raffles City and Marina Square.
