The take
Cast-iron lamps line this short crossing over the Singapore River. Walk it at dusk and keep going toward Boat Quay as the riverside lights come on.
Good to know
A reinforced-concrete bridge opened in 1929, on the site of the first bridge across the river from the 1820s
Gazetted a national monument in 2019 with Cavenagh and Anderson bridges
Finding it: Crosses the Singapore River; North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road, on either side, are named after the bridge
