On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Choa Chu Kang West station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL).

[1] Initially expected to open in 2026, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the JRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2027.

[2] As the road median along Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3 is rather narrow, it can be expected that the carriageways will be pushed further out once construction begins.

It is located within the Choa Chu Kang planning area between the Keat Hong and Peng Siang subzones,[5] nested within an existing housing estate, near to Sunshine Place.

Access to the station will be via 2 exits from ground level, 1 on each side of Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3.
