Esplanade Bridge, Singapore

Esplanade Bridge, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Esplanade Bridge (GPS: 1.28835, 103.85419) is one of the newer bridges in Singapore. It crosses Marina Bay at the mouth of the Singapore River. This 260-meter bridge is made of concrete and has seven graceful arches. The bridge carries the new eight-lane Esplanade Drive, which links the Nicoll Highway with Collyer Quay, which the financial district at Shenton Way begins. Walkways on both sides of the bridge allows pedestrians to go from the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay to The Fullerton Hotel.

Construction of the Esplanade Bridge began in 1994. It was completed in March 1997. As a result of its construction, and that of the adjacent Marina Centre, Queen Elizabeth Walk lost its seafront position. The famous Merlion Statue was also relocated in 2002 to the other side of the Esplanade Bridge.

Getting there

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
