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, and 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.
