Cavenagh Bridge, Suspension bridge in Downtown Core, Singapore
The steel structure spans 79 meters across the Singapore River, connecting the colonial district with the central business area through pedestrian walkways.
Built in 1869 by convict labor, the bridge was initially named Edinburgh Bridge before being renamed to honor Lieutenant General William Orfeur Cavenagh.
The bridge preserves two original police notices that restrict passage to vehicles weighing over 152 kilograms, including cattle and horses.
The bridge provides direct pedestrian access between the cultural district on the north bank and commercial areas on the south of Singapore River.
The structure remains the only suspension bridge in Singapore, featuring elaborate steel struts manufactured in Glasgow and assembled with period-specific riveting techniques.
