Benjamin Sheares Bridge, Prestressed concrete bridge in Downtown Core, Singapore
The Benjamin Sheares Bridge extends 1.8 kilometers across Marina Bay, reaching a height of 29 meters with eight traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.
Construction of this S$110 million infrastructure project started in 1978 and concluded with an official opening ceremony on September 26, 1981.
The structure appears on Singapore's Ship Series S$50 banknote and commemorative stamps, representing the nation's infrastructure achievements of the 1980s.
The bridge connects the East Coast Parkway to Marina Centre, functioning as an arterial road since 2013 when the Marina Coastal Expressway opened.
The Singapore Mint produced special S$5 silver and cupro-nickel coins in 1982 to mark the completion of this significant transportation link.
