"Kallang Bahru" is also the name of a two-way road in the area. This road connects the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) in the northeast with Lavender Street in the southwest, with major junctions located at Geylang Bahru and Boon Keng Road. This road is unique as it is one of the few roads in Singapore to have a name without any generic element. The name of the subzone was derived from this road.

The subzone of Kallang Bahru consists mostly of industrial and office developments. Notable places include the Kallang Delivery Base of Singapore Post, Aperia Mall and Victoria Wholesale Centre. Bendemeer MRT station along the Downtown Line is located within this subzone.

History

The name "Kallang Bahru" first appeared in a street directory as a proposed road in 1969. [3] Meaning "New Kallang" in the Malay language, the road and its surrounding area were seen as an extension of the Kallang settlement. Prior to the construction of the road, the area was a swampland.
