Ord Bridge
Ord Bridge was constructed in 1886 and was dedicated to the
memory of the first governor of the Straits Settlement to be appointed
by the Colonial office in London, Sir Henry St. George Ord. It was also
known as Ordnance Bridge or Toddy Bridge because of neighbouring ordnance stores and liquor shops.

The bridge is simple in form with interesting details such as the
ornamental balustrades and girders.

Pulau Saigon Bridge
The original Pulau Saigon Bridge was built in 1890, but demolished in 1986. The reason for the demolition was that the Bridge was too old and it blocked the development of Central Expressway.

Pulau Saigon Bridge was also called Footbridge because the completion of Clemenceau Bridge in 1922 forestalled any need of developing it further and its status as a pedestrian bridge was maintained.
