The construction of Dakota Station and the tracks led to the closure of part of Old Airport Road in March 2006. Instead, Jalan Tiga was extended to Guillemard Road, opening up a traffic junction there. In addition, the old Guillemard Camp Road was widened to provide public buses enough space to drive through. Despite the widening of the road, there have been several accidents occurring near the T-junction of Guillemard Road and Guillemard Camp Road. The closed portion of Old Airport Road is due to open to traffic again in late 2008.

The station will be served by 2 exit and entry points and is expected to be operational by 2010. It was built as part of stage 2 of the Circle Line by the same joint venture responsible for the Nicoll Highway station. nicoll high way collasped! ...
