History
The station was built by the Leighton–John Holland Joint Venture under a contract numbered 904, awarded May 2011, which also included South Horizons Station and sections of running tunnel. It was constructed using the drill-and-blast method.
Station layout
The station is underground with two tracks and an island platform. North of the station, the line rises onto Aberdeen Channel Bridge, a railway bridge designed by Atkins Global that spans the Aberdeen Channel.
Artworks in the station are Dawn of a New Day and Journeys Along the South Island Line (East) by local children under the respective leadership of Castaly Leung Ching-man and Sum Sum Tse. The art is located in the passageway to exit A, as well as the concourse and lift cars of exit B.
Entrances/exits
Lei Tung Station has three exits. The exit to Lei Tung Estate Bus Terminal is connected to the concourse by lifts instead of escalators, due to the 40-metre (130 ft) depth of the platforms. Passage from exit A to exit B does not require entering the paid area.
