Coleman Bridge, Singapore, Historic bridge in Downtown Core, Singapore
Coleman Bridge stretches across the Singapore River, connecting Hill Street to New Bridge Road with its concrete structure and decorative lamp posts.
The first bridge, built in 1840 by George Drumgoole Coleman, featured nine brick arches and cost 8,690 Straits dollars to construct.
The bridge receives its Cantonese name 'yi ma lo khiu' meaning 'the bridge at the second road', reflecting local linguistic traditions.
The 1990 renovation expanded the bridge to four lanes and added two pedestrian underpasses to improve traffic flow near Clarke Quay.
Elements from the 1886 iron bridge, including ornamental railings, were integrated into the current concrete structure to preserve historical connections.
