The expansion of the interchange between the Tampines Expressway (TPE) and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) would help improve traffic conditions in the growing Punggol area, say experts.

The Straits Times reported last week that the intersection between the two expressways, including a direct connection to Punggol Central, would open by the end of next month. This is almost a year ahead of its original projected opening in the third quarter of next year.
