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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
