The expressways of Singapore are special roads allowing motorists to travel quickly from one urban area to another. All of them are dual carriageways with grade-separated access. They usually have three lanes in each direction, although there are two- or four-lane carriageways in some places. There are eight expressways, with another one, the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway, currently under construction. Studies about the feasibility of additional expressways are ongoing.
