This was completed in 1929 and named after the then governor General of India, Lord Elgin. As this was the first bridge to be built across the River, the two roads leading to it were named North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road accordingly.
Elgin Bridge served to link the Chinese community on the south side of the River to the Indian merchants of High Street on the north side.

The area around the Elgin Bridge had been a popular site for swimming and there have been many tragic stories of youngsters who, not realising how shallow the waters were, had leapt off this bridge to their deaths.

Esplanade Bridge
Construction of this 260m long bridge across the mouth of the Singapore River began in early 1994 and was completed in 1997. The low level concrete arched bridge have seven spans and supports two four-lane carriageways and wide walkways along both side.
