SINGAPORE: A new slip road connecting Halus Link near Punggol and the Tampines Expressway (Central Expressway/Seletar Expressway) will open on Nov 28.
This will help ease traffic along Punggol East, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Monday (Nov 16).

“The expanded interchange will serve existing and new developments in Punggol town by improving connectivity between the KPE and TPE with Punggol Central, Pasir Ris Industrial Drive 1 and Lorong Halus," LTA said.
The expansion project opened in several stages starting November 2018.
