Robinson Road, Singapore
Robinson Road () is a major trunk road in Singapore's Central Area. The road is named afterward Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson, the Governor of the Straits Settlements in 1877–1879. The land on which Robinson Road now stands was crested through land reclamation work started in 1879. It was a sea-side thoroughfare until more land reclamation workshops in Telok Ayer Basin in the early 1900s (completed in 1932) shifted the shoreline further east to make room for the building of Shenton Way. This allowed for the road to be widened and converted into a one-way street to accommodate the rise in traffic flow pending massive urban development.
