Elgin Bridge, Reinforced concrete bridge at Singapore River, Singapore
Elgin Bridge extends for 46 meters across the Singapore River, connecting North Bridge Road to South Bridge Road through three concrete arches.
The first crossing at this location dates back to 1822 when Lieutenant Philip Jackson directed the construction of a wooden structure called Presentment Bridge.
Cast iron lamps along the bridge sides feature the signature of Italian sculptor Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli and decorative plaques with lions and palm trees.
The bridge carries both vehicles and pedestrians across the Singapore River, with two pedestrian underpasses providing additional access at both ends.
The steel framework was manufactured in Glasgow and transported as one complete structure across the river in a two-hour operation in October 1928.
