6 May 2023 - A view of the entry point to the underpass from Exit D.

Part of the underpass will be converted into a new exit for the station.

With works for the Punggol station on the Cross Island Line (CRL) - Punggol Extension (CPE) now underway, the existing underpass at Punggol's North East Line station will close come 15th February 2024. The northern part of the underpass will be converted into Exit 7 of the new CPE station box while the southern part will be permanently closed. In future, Exit 5 will connect to the CPE station's concourse level, providing an alternative to the existing underpass. Currently, a street level pedestrian crossing is available for commuters to cross Punggol Central without going through the paid areas of the station. As the crossing is located underneath the LRT platforms, it is also weather-protected. We take one last look at the underpass before its closure on 15th February 2024.
