[2] Soon after it opened, in 1981, the interchange was partially demolished and expanded at a cost of S$3 million,[3] and work was completed in 1983.

[5] Bedok MRT station opened in 1989 at the south of the original facility, complementing the bus interchange to serve people travelling within Bedok town and also the nearby East Coast Park.

This was confirmed in early 2011 when the Housing and Development Board (HDB) announced plans to rejuvenate Bedok, which involved redeveloping the Bedok town centre and rebuilding the original facility into an air-conditioned one, integrated with a proposed commercial development (Bedok Mall) and proposed residential development (Bedok Residences), resembling Boon Lay Bus Interchange.

The original facility was demolished after 32 years of operations, to make way for the development.

The new Bedok Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) began operations on 30 November 2014.
