Jurong Road


Jurong Road is a small road in Tengah in western Singapore, linking Bukit Batok Road with Jurong West Avenue 2.
The oldest road in the Jurong area, it was first constructed between 1852 to 1853 during the early British colonial period to create a proper road link between the rural areas of Jurong and the rest of Singapore. Later, it was extended towards Bukit Timah Road in 1929. In the 1960s, Jurong Road's original span ran from Bukit Timah Road to a dead end in Tuas. The stretch of this roadway between Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Jurong Kechil is now known as Old Jurong Road. Upper Jurong Road starts from the western end of Boon Lay Way and ends at Pasir Laba Flyover of the Pan Island Expressway, after which it continues briefly towards Pasir Laba Camp and the SAF Multi-Mission Range Complex. At present, only a short section of the original road remains between Jurong West Avenue 2 and Bukit Batok Road, running roughly parallel to the PIE.
Smaller roads along the current Jurong Road spread out further into the largely-forested area of Tengah; these include Track 18, Track 20 and Track 22. Track 22 links to Jalan Chichau and Jalan Lam Sam.
