History
On 18 February 2009, the government replied to the Legislative Council that a decision or timetable for the construction of Tung Chung West Station was not available for the time being.

In 2013, Tung Chung West Extension was mentioned in the review and update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000, after the government launched the "Tung Chung New Town Extension Study" in 2012 to further expand and develop Tung Chung New Town. The updated strategy, released in September 2014 as the Railway Development Strategy 2014 (RDS-2014), confirms plans to build the Tung Chung West extension, and that the projected cost is $6 billion. An "implementation window" of 2020 to 2024 was noted.

The New Lantao Bus company, which currently operates a circular bus route between Yat Tung Estate and Tung Chung station, petitioned the Legislative Council against construction of the new station.

The construction of the station was approved and gazetted on 10 January 2023, with construction beginning in mid-2023 and it is expected to be completed in 2029. In May of that year, the construction contract was awarded to a joint venture between French contractor Bouygues and Dragages Hong Kong.

The station will be located underground, accompanied by two ventilation facilities adjacent to it. Two exits will be constructed near Yat Tung Estate.
