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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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