Riviera LRT Station (PE4) is a light rail station along the Punggol LRT (PGLRT)’s East Loop. Located within the Punggol New Town, the station is overground and built along Punggol East, between the junctions of Punggol Field and Punggol Central.

The station name was picked to match a seaside theme.

By 2032, Riviera LRT station will be an interchange station with the Cross Island Line Punggol Extension (CPe), with the station code PE4CP3.

In a written answer to parliamentary questions in May 2021, Transport Minister Mr Ong Ye Kung mentioned that construction for rail projects were delayed by up to a year due to material supplies and manpower disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the revised opening year for Cross Island Line Punggol Extension will be in 2032 instead of the originally announced 2031.

Engineering Highlights (CRL Punggol Extension Station)

A large-diameter Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), measuring about 12 metres in diameter will be used to construct a single 4.3-kilometre-long tunnel with two tracks in it. The tunnel will be constructed at an approximate depth of 25 metres below ground. LTA and the contractor will closely monitor the works to ensure that they are carried out safely and in a timely manner and minimise the impact to the nearby stakeholders.
