Clarke Quay MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East line (NEL) in Singapore. Situated along Eu Tong Sen Street, near the junction of Merchant Road and North Canal Road, it is at the south of the Singapore River underneath The Central. The station serves Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, as well as other landmarks such as Hong Lim Park, The Riverwalk and the Swissotel Merchant Court.
First announced in March 1996, the station was planned to serve the redevelopment of the Singapore River. Explosives were used in the construction of bored tunnels between this station and Dhoby Ghaut station. Clarke Quay station was completed on 20 June 2003. The curvilinear features of the station entrances are designed to symbolise the flowing waters of the Singapore River. The station features an Art-in-Transit public artwork The Reflections by Chua Ek Kay.
