Geylang Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geylang Road (Chinese: 芽笼路) is a major trunk road linking Singapore's central business district with the eastern suburban areas. Deriving its name from the area of Geylang where the road cuts through, it is fronted on both sides by low-rise shophouses protected statutorily from urban redevelopment in keeping with its history and urban heritage.
The road starts from where it meets the eastern end of Kallang Road over the Kallang River, cutting almost parallel to the east till it meets Changi Road at the junction with Geylang Serai and Joo Chiat Road. Initially the only main thoroughfare leading to Changi, it has since been converted into a one way street as traffic mushroomed and led to the building of a parallel road, Sims Avenue to the north for traffic in the opposite direction.
