SINGAPORE – The upcoming Punggol Coast MRT station will be ready by 2024, with about 40 per cent of construction work completed.

Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung gave this update on Friday (Nov 13), at a ceremony to mark the completion of tunnel boring works from the existing Punggol station to the future Punggol Coast station.

The new station, a 1.6km extension of the North East Line, was initially slated for completion in 2023 but has been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
