Connectivity to Urban Village is regulated by three bridges.

First bridge connects the periphery (public street) of Urban Village to public road and community across the river.

Second bridge connects the internal road of Urban Village to the Green Space of Former Saint John’s University.

The existing bridge connect the old part of university to its extension across the river. This bridge also gives limited access to public (who live inside or next to Urban Village).
