Rochor MRT station (IPA: /ˈroʊtʃoʊ, -ɔːr/ ROH-choh or ROH-chor) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Downtown Line (DTL) in Rochor, Singapore. Located between Sungei Road and Rochor Canal Road, the station serves landmarks such as Sim Lim Square, the Lasalle College of the Arts and Tekka Centre. The station is operated by SBS Transit.
The station was first announced in July 2008 when the DTL Stage 2 (DTL2) were revealed. The construction of the station, which began in 2009, was one of the most challenging projects on the DTL, involving multiple realignments of the arterial roads and the Rochor Canal while being constructed in soft marine clay. The station, which opened on 27 December 2015 along with the DTL2 stations, was designed by Architects61, and features an Art-in-Transit artwork Tracing Memories by students of Lasalle.
