Anderson Bridge

Anderson Bridge spans 70 meters across the Singapore River with two roadways and features diagonal structural members, cast iron lattice work, and granite pedestrian archways.

The bridge, completed in 1910, replaced Cavenagh Bridge after municipal authorities determined a need for increased traffic capacity at the Singapore River mouth.

Bronze lamps decorate the bridge arches, while a stone from Aswan, Egypt displays the names of construction contributors at the central girder near Victoria Memorial Hall.

The bridge connects Empress Place on the north bank to Collyer Quay on the south bank, serving as a primary crossing point in Singapore's Downtown Core.

The structural steelwork was manufactured in Britain and transported to Singapore, where Howarth Erskine Company assembled the final superstructure components.
