History
Construction of the station was carried out by the Leighton Contractors–John Holland Joint Venture as part of Contract 904, awarded in May 2011. This contract also included the building of South Horizons station and associated tunnel sections. The drill-and-blast technique was employed during its construction.
Lei Tung station commenced operations on 28 December 2016, coinciding with the inauguration of the entire South Island line.
Station Artwork
The station showcases two art installations entitled Dawn of a New Day and Journeys Along the South Island Line (East), which were developed by local children under the guidance of Castally Leung Ching-man and Sum Sum Tse. These pieces are exhibited in the corridor leading to exit A, within the concourse area, and inside the lift cabins at exit B.
