History
Work on the northern extension of the line had been halted because of groundwater leaks. It resumed under a decree of 7 November 2016, and the water-bearing layer was crossed using reinforced-concrete tubbing and German technology. The station was built by bridge builders of the Koʻprikqurilish trust of Uzbekistan Railways and opened on 29 August 2020 as the northern terminus of the Yunusobod line.
Fun fact
The 2.9 km extension of the line with two stations, Yunusobod and Turkiston, cost 103.8 million dollars.
