Rochor Road, SingaporeRochor Road, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Rochor Road is a major one-way street in downtown Singapore. It runs in a northwest direction beginning at the exit at Benjamin Sheares Bridge on the East Coast Parkway, and ending at the intersection with Bencoolen Street, from where it continues as Rochor Canal Road.

Along the way, Rochor Road forms intersections with Beach Road, North Bridge Road, Victoria Street and Queen Street.

Rochor Road is believed to have been named after the Rochor River, part of which has been canalized. There is so far no complete agreement as to how the name Rochor came about, although different theories abound.

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.
