Clemenceau Avenue, Singapore

Clemenceau Avenue, Singapore (1 August 2017)


Clemenceau Avenue is a major road in downtown Singapore. It passes through the Singapore River and Museum Planning Areas. The road starts at Penang Road in the north, next to the heritage property, House of Tan Yeok Nee, and ends on the south bank of the Singapore River, at the intersection eiyh Havelock Road, where it merges with Chin Swee Road.

Clemenceau Avenue is intersected by River Valley Road. It also forms junctions Penang Lane, Jalan Rumbia, Fort Canning Road, Tank Road, Unity Street, and Merchant Road.

Clemenceau Avenue was originally part of Tank Road, which has since been much reduced in length. In 1919, this stretch of Tank Road was renamed in honour of French Premier Georges Clemenceau (1844-1929), who officiated in turning the sod of earth for the creation of the road. He was visiting Singapore on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone for the construction of the Cenotaph in 1920. Clemenceau Avenue was completed five years later, and took his name.

The bridge taking Clemenceau Avenue across the Singapore River is also known as Clemenceau Bridge, after the premier. Running under Clemenceau Avenue is the Central Expressway (CTE), which follows its entire route before continuing north.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
