Arcadia Road is secondary road in Singapore which was designated as a heritage road in 2005. Starting at a junction of Adam Road, it extends for 918 metres before ending. The road is lined with rain trees and is known for its lush greenery.[1]
Prior to the construction of the Pan Island Expressway, Arcadia Road existed as a curving track between the neighbouring hills. It connected users to the paths behind the Eng Neo private estate.[1] The present road skirts past the colonial era Adam Park Estate. It is located amidst the secondary forest near the MacRitchie Reservoir.[2] In 2005, the road was gazetted as a heritage road, which earmarked a 10 metre wide green buffer (on the sides of the road) for conservation.[3]
The sides of the road are lined with mature rain trees as well as condominiums like Hillcrest Arcadia and The Arcadia.[4]
