Pulau Saigon Bridge , Singapore

Pulau Saigon Bridge, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Pulau Saigon Bridge (GPS: 1.28937, 103.83802) is a 43-metre-long bridge across the Singapore River. It is located within the Singapore River Planning Area. The present bridge conveys Saiboo Street across the river, to link with Havelock Road. However, the present Pulau Saigon Bridge is not the original bridge of that name.

The original Pulau Saigon Bridge connects Pulau Saigon, an island within the Singapore River, to the Singapore mainland. It was built in 1890, but demolished in 1986 to make way for the construction of the Central Expressway.

Pulau Saigon itself appeared in maps as early as 1939, when it was shown to be a mangrove marsh within the river. The name Kampong Saigon first appeared in 1878. In 1991, the waters separating Pulau Saigon from the Singapore mainland was filled in, turning the erstwhile island into part of the southern bank of the Singapore River.

In 1997, a concrete bridge was built on Saiboo Street, and was given the name Pulau Saigon Bridge.

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.
