The B73 route (Batman Highway) runs from the East Tamar Highway over the Batman Bridge, entering the locality in the east and passing through to intersect with the West Tamar Highway, which passes through from south-east to north-west, in the centre. The C725 route (Spring Hill Road) runs between the Batman Highway and the West Tamar Highway to provide a shorter way for northbound traffic from the Batman Bridge.[3]
