Punggol Coast MRT Station will open on 10 December 2024

Punggol Coast MRT Station will open on 10 December 2024 (Tuesday), extending the North East Line (NEL) by 1 station. Strategically located in the heart of the Punggol Digital District (PDD), Punggol Coast MRT Station will significantly boost connectivity to key locations like the JTC Business Park and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus, as well as the upcoming Punggol Coast Mall.

With the launch of Punggol Coast MRT Station, over 200,000 households will be within a 10-minute walk of an NEL station. Commuters in Punggol North can look forward to shorter travel times to the city center and other key parts of Singapore. For instance, journeys from Punggol North to Outram Park or Orchard Road will take just 45 minutes, significantly cutting down from the current 60-minute commute via bus/LRT transfers. This not only saves time but also makes commuting a more efficient and pleasant experience for residents in the Punggol North area.

In addition to serving commuters traveling to and from Punggol, the new MRT station will greatly improve connectivity for students and staff at the SIT campus and workers in the Punggol Digital District. The recently opened Teck Lee LRT Station also complements this improved transport infrastructure, providing further accessibility to these rapidly developing areas. New covered linkways have been built to enhance the walking experience from Teck Lee LRT Station to surrounding locations, ensuring a comfortable commute even during rainy weather.
