History of Mountbatten MRT station
When it was announced in April 2001 as part of the second stage of the Circle Line, the station was planned under the name Old Airport Road. Building work stopped for a time after the Nicoll Highway collapse in April 2004. A public poll then led to the name being changed to Mountbatten in July 2005, after the road named for the British naval commander Louis Mountbatten. The station opened on 17 April 2010, together with the other Circle Line stations between Dhoby Ghaut and Tai Seng.
