The local road which has 2 parts can also serve the people traveling in the area near the train line. The first part is a 4-lane road at the length of 1.7 kilometres built under the expressway structure starting from Prachachuen Road and ending at Pacharaj 1 Road. The second part starts from Charansanitwong Road and ends at Kanchanapisek Road. It is a 2-lane road along both sides of the train right-of-ways. The north part of the road is 11.5 kilometres long and the south part is 11.7 Kilometres long.
