To improve the accessibility to and within Sengkang New Town, LTA embarked on the construction of a pair of flyovers at the Tampines Expressway (TPE)/ Sengkang East Road Interchange and TPE/ Sengkang East Drive.

Construction for the S$23.52 million project commenced in March 2001. The flyovers and various slip roads were progressively opened as soon as they were ready for use. On 14 April 2004, the final slip road from TPE to Sengkang East Road and Punggol Way was opened to traffic. This marked the completion of the project.

Motorists travelling between Sengkang East Drive to Punggol East have been able to enjoy faster journeys when the flyover was opened on 23 November 2003. Travelling via this flyover will shave 2.3 kilometres off the usual travel route. Travelling time is also shortened by more than five minutes.

The completion of the flyover has also given residents of Punggol New Town an alternate route to the city besides the existing Punggol Road.

The flyover at Sengkang East Road provides motorists travelling along TPE access to both Sengkang and Punggol estates. It also links the two towns to bring about more convenience for residents.

With the road interchange, travelling time to the city and Changi Airport have been shortened. It also relieves the traffic conditions at the existing Punggol Road Interchange.
