SINGAPORE – A new access road will open on November 28 connecting Halus Link with the Tampines Expressway (TPE).
The highway will help ease traffic along Punggol East, the Land Transportation Authority (LTA) said on Monday (Nov. 16). Traffic signs will be posted to guide motorists in the area.
The opening of the road marks the completion of the expanded interchange between the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and TPE, which opened in six stages starting in November 2018.
The LTA said that the interchange will benefit Punggol residents by improving connectivity between KPE and TPE, and Punggol Central, Pasir Ris Industrial Drive 1 and Lorong Halus.
“Since the progressive opening of the highways starting in 2018, traffic conditions have improved at TPE between Punggol Way and KPE, and the existing access points of the city of Punggol via Punggol Road and Punggol East,” added the LTA.
The expanded exchange was initially scheduled to be completed in June of next year.
The initial phase of the expansion included the construction of roads, three vehicular bridges crossing Sungei Serangoon and Sungei Blukar, an overpass through the TPE and other associated ramps and drainage works.
The second phase involved the construction of a vehicular bridge crossing Sungei Serangoon, an overpass through KPE and TPE, an extension of the road from Lorong Halus to Pasir Ris Industrial Drive 1, and associated ramps and drainage works.
