By March 2021, the station was expected to open in October 2021. This was delayed in June 2021 to a December 2021 opening due to supply chain issues, and in October 2021 to a March 2022 opening due to issues with a substation. Train testing on the Union Square Branch began in December 2021. Pre-revenue service, where trains on the branch were operated on a revenue schedule but without passengers aboard, began on January 16, 2022.
