Punggol residents can look forward to less congested roads and better connectivity from the expressways to where they live. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has called for a tender to expand the intersection of the two expressways that lead to Punggol - the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and Tampines Expressway (TPE) - so as to ease traffic flow. It will also construct a new arterial road linking the intersection to Punggol to offer motorists greater access to the town. Construction is expected to begin by the middle of next year after tenders are awarded. When the project is completed by 2019 as slated, it will provide a new link between Punggol and the TPE. Currently, those using the expressways to access Punggol can use only two exits on the TPE - Punggol Road and Punggol Way. “The new project is needed to meet the expected growth in traffic demand generated by the growingPunggol Town and provide better access to the expressway network,” said an LTA spokesma Less
