Sengkang West Road and SBS Bus 50

A new route leading from Yio Chu Kang to the Tampines Expressway (TPE) will be available in three years' time. The route, Sengkang West Road, will offer an option to the narrow Jalan Kayu road, with three lanes in each direction. Motorists have been reported as looking forward to the construction of the route. The new road will start at where Yio Chu Kang Road and Jalan Kayu currently intersect. It will then cut through parts of Seletar West Farmway before joining the TPE. As a result, 13 tenants will have to leave the Farmway to make way for the project. Sengkang West Road will also provide access across the TPE to the upcoming Seletar Aerospace Park.

Changes include:
- Jalan Kayu will end at Sengkang West Avenue, which will be extended to coincide with Sengkang West Road, it said.
- Fernvale Road will be re-routed to join Sengkang West Road.
- a segment of Yio Chu Kang Road between the Central Expressway and Jalan Kayu will be widened to three lanes in each direction, up from the existing two.

But the stretch of Jalan Kayu with shop houses and eateries will not be affected

There is also a new bus service 50 which will run from Punggol to Sengkang and through Sengkang west way to Ang Mo Kio which will benefit us. I have plotted out the bus route around Palms as below.
