Esplanade Bridge, Arch bridge in Downtown Core, Singapore
The Esplanade Bridge spans 261 meters across the Singapore River mouth, connecting the theater district with the financial zone of Shenton Way.
Construction of the concrete bridge started in 1994 and finished in 1997, addressing the need for faster access between Marina Centre and Shenton Way.
The bridge provides viewing spots of Marina Bay events, with street lights designed by Light Cibles enhancing its architectural features at night.
The 70-meter-wide structure carries eight traffic lanes and includes walkways on both sides for people to cross the Singapore River.
The bridge forms part of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, requiring complete closure during Formula One Grand Prix race weekends in Singapore.
