Robertson Quay, Singapore

Robertson Quay, Singapore (30 July 2017)

Robertson Quay (GPS: 1.2899, 103.83732) is a quay along the Singapore River. It is also the street of the same name. Robertson Quay is also a subzone within the Singapore River Planning Area, in Postal District 09. Covering 51 hectares and representing 53% of the overall area of the Singapore River Planning Area, it is located upriver from Clarke Quay, west of Clemenceau Bridge. The quay, today turned into a pedestrian promenade, is parallel to Mohamed Sultan Road. The street connects to Martin Road on one end and Rodyk Street on the other.

In 1999, as part of the effort of the government to turn Singapore River into a recreational precinct, Robertson Quay was beautified. The quay was also redeveloped into a promenade. Three pedestrian bridges were built to allow visitors to cross the Singapore River and enjoy the views there. The bridges are the Robertson Bridge, Alkaff Bridge and Jiak Kim Bridge.

Among the sights in the vicinity of Robertson Quay include Studio M Hotel, Fraser Place Robertson Walk, and Park Hotel Clark Quay. Across the river on the south side is Havelock Road.
