Platforms of the different lines

The contract 712 for the constructing of Punggol NEL station was awarded to Hock Lian Seng Group at a contract sum of S$85.86 million. The government gave the green light to construct the North East line in 1996. The station was constructed in tandem with the developments of Punggol New Town in 1999. In 2002, both of the LRT station and the MRT station were completed. Access roads of Punggol Central from Punggol Road were built at the same time. The station opened with the rest of the line in 20 June 2003. After finishing the construction of underground platforms at Punggol (at basement 2), construction began on the Punggol LRT in 2000, which had a middle platform on the LRT side (at level 2). The Punggol LRT station was opened on 29 January 2005 and served only the East Loop before the opening of the West Loop on 29 June 2014.

Cross Island Line Interchange

On 10 March 2020, LTA announced that Punggol station would be part of the proposed Cross Island line (CRL). The station will be constructed as part of Punggol extension, consisting of four stations between Pasir Ris and Punggol, and is expected to be completed in 2031. Construction is expected to start in 2022.
