D2: Heritage trail and old bus stop

This old trunk road is preserved for Singaporeans to relive a piece of history while enjoying the waterway. Visionary engineers, architects, and planners saw the potential of the old Punggol Road and took efforts to preserve it.

This landmark is designed to help you recollect Punggol’s heritage. Poles and stilts similar to those used in fishing villages are incorporated in the rustic footbridge design, linking it as part of the heritage trail leading towards Punggol Point.

The Kelong Bridge and heritage trail follow the original alignment of the old Punggol Road. Along the old Punggol Road, an old bus stop has been conserved. It acts as a sheltered rest stop and brings to mind old memories of Punggol.

To reach this landmark, walk across the waterway via the Kelong Bridge.

Numerous aerators are placed along the waterway to increase the oxygen level within the water. This supports a wide range of biodiversity among the fishes and aquatic plants.

In addition, eco-drains – a stormwater management feature, are built along both sides of the promenades to collect and cleanse surface runoff before they are discharged into the waterway.
