The first section of the Punggol waterway is set for completion by 2010, bringing waterfront living closer to residents’ doorsteps.
Construction of the 4.2-kilometre channel started on Saturday, with a groundbreaking ceremony.
Over the next few years, the area – known as Punggol 21+ – will see more leisure and recreational facilities.
About 21,000 new public and private residences will also be built along the channel. The first public housing project there will be launched later next year.
