Traditionally, Madagascar's national infrastructure was deemed to be extremely poor for a developed nation, with a mix-match of roads, overground ice roads and underground ice roads of all different heights and design accounting for the only way to get around Madagascar, other than the sea. This is part of the reason why most Madagascan towns, particularly those in the north, are located along the shore. Change is coming, however. A new national highway scheme is currently underway, aimed at connecting almost every mainland Madagascan town to a single, highly developed road network based around 2 main highways: the East Coast Highway and the West Coast Highway, along with various smaller branches to open up the Madagascan north and interior to development. This project includes the demolition of all above ground ice roads, which were extremely dangerous to travel on, the extension of Tsalbarivo's regional highway to become the West Coast Highway, the construction of an entirely new route along the East Coast and extensive wilderness repairs and restoration around the highways. So far, all overground ice roads have been demolished, a lengthy section of the WCH, that runs from New Tolanaro and Solace, has been completed including a bridge and an overpass which connects it to the future ECH and the southern inland section of the ECH has been completed, along with ongoing wilderness restoration. It is hoped that, by the end of this project, traveling between towns will be far easier, and inland towns will be a far more appealing prospect for players looking to create new towns.

Another piece of infrastructure is the regional Tsalbarivo Subway, an underground ice road network, which is being extended to connect to Malagasy Docks, Solace and Trondro with the intention of becoming the West Coast Ice Road Network, an underground ice road network that compliments the West Coast Highway, designed for more secure travel between the western towns.
