Rochor 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.
