Jalan Bahar (Chinese: 惹兰巴哈) is a major arterial road from Old Choa Chu Kang Road to Jurong West Avenue 2; originally a Jurong Road to Old Choa Chu Kang Road link. It was opened on 9 April 1965 to connect the rural areas of Lim Chu Kang to the Jurong Industrial Estate. It also connects through the Pan Island Expressway. It no longer connects to Lim Chu Kang Road due to the expansion of Tengah Airbase.
Jalan Bahar is located at the western part of Singapore, and is in close proximity to Tuas and Lim Chu Kang districts. The portion of the Jalan Bahar (west of New Lim Chu Kang Road) is part of the SAFTI Live Firing Area (deadly force may be used once unauthorised persons enter past the sign); and the eastern part of Jalan Bahar is part of the normal military training area (deadly force may be used against unauthorised persons).
Primarily a wooded, forested area, the land at Jalan Bahar has been cleared over the years and is left undeveloped till today. Only a few commercial buildings stand here, mainly industrial buildings and educational institutions.
