Earlier this month, the Cross Island Line (CRL) Punggol Extension's (CPE) Project Information Centre (PIC) was officially opened to the public. The PIC is open to the public during weekdays during office hours and is closed on weekends and public holidays. Walk-ins are permitted and no appointment is needed to visit the centre.
Where is the PIC located?
Located near the Punggol station and Waterway Point shopping mall, the PIC is a mere 2 to 5 minute walk away from the transport & shopping hub of Punggol, allowing easy access to the centre for visitors.

If you're unable to make it to the PIC for the moment, you can always check out the digital version online. Most of the exhibits are similar, although the physical centre does provide you with some extra information and the ability to view the 3D architectural models up close. Do head on over if you're able to and let the team know that you've found out about the PIC from SGMC.
This post will also be available on Instagram & Facebook on 22 April 2024.
