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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
