Esplanade Drive, Singapore

Esplanade Drive, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Esplanade Drive is a coastal road in downtown Singapore. It connects Nicoll Highway in the north to Fullerton Road in the south across the Esplanade Bridge. The drive refers to the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, presently the piece of land to the north of Marina Bay.

The term Esplanade has been used at different times to mean a different part in the vicinity of Esplanade Drive. In the mid 19th century, it referred to the area that is presently known as the Padang. Then, after land reclamation extended the coastline, the Esplanade was the site of the present Queen Elizabeth Walk. Another round of land reclamation in the 1980s and 90s created the present coastline.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
