Cross Street, Singapore

Cross Street, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Cross Street is a street in downtown Singapore. It runs from east to west through the Downtown Core and Outram planning areas. On the eastern end, it starts at the Cross Street Viaduct, which connects it with Shenton Way and Central Boulevard. The viaduct was built in 2009-2011 to through traffic on Shenton Way. Cross Street continues as a one-way street to end at the intersection with South Bridge Road, after which it continues as Upper Cross Street.

Cross Street is one of the older streets of Singapore. It has been around since the early part of the 19th century, and was part of the Jackson Plan of 1822, which parcelled the city by ethnic communities. Cross Street was at the western boundary of the original city. It was much shorter then than it is today, for it ended at the sea after Telok Ayer Street.

Over the decades, land reclamations have extended the length of Cross Street. By 1885, it reached Robinson Road. By the 1950's, it reached Shenton Way, after which subsequent land reclamation in the 21st century created the Marina Bay area from which extends Central Boulevard.

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.
