Cross Island Line: Phase 1 runs 12 stations to an interchange with the Thomson-East Coast Line at Bright Hill, and is expected to be completed by 2030, turning Bright Hill MRT station, a 12-minute walk from the development, into an interchange.

North-South Corridor: the 21.5km corridor, 8.8km of viaduct and 12.3km of tunnel serving towns including Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh and Novena, is expected to open in phases: the viaduct from Admiralty Road West to Lentor Avenue from 2029 and the tunnel from Lentor Avenue to the East Coast Parkway from 2031. It is expected to relieve congestion on arterial roads including Thomson Road and Marymount Road, and the surface streets along it are to be progressively repurposed for walking, cycling, public transport and community spaces.
