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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
