Bendemeer, Singapore
Bendemeer is a subzone within the planning area of Kallang, Singapore, as defined by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Its boundary is made up of the Pan Island Expressway in the north; Serangoon Road, the Kallang River, Sungei Whampoa, and Bendemeer Road in the east; Lavender Street and Balestier Road in the south; and the Central Expressway in the west.
Bendemeer is primarily residential, compromising both public housing built by the Housing and Development Board and private housing. Educational institutions within this subzone include Hong Wen School, Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, and Northlight School.
Based on historical map evidence provided by NUS, the road in its present form was constructed sometime between 1966 and 1969, similar to the construction of Orchard Boulevard to alleviate the traffic congestion along Serangoon Road.
