Esplanade Bridge, Arch bridge in Singapore
The Esplanade Bridge spans the mouth of the Singapore River and offers panoramic views of the city.
Completed in 1997, it was built to provide quicker vehicular access between Marina Centre and the financial district.
Its elegant design complements the nearby historic Esplanade Park and war memorials.
Pedestrians can access the bridge via footpaths for a scenic route across the river.
The bridge's low height obscures it from the view of motorists on the adjacent Anderson Bridge, creating an illusion that cars are diving into the water.
