Elgin Bridge Singapore

Elgin Bridge is a vehicular bridge across the Singapore River, linking the Downtown Core to the Singapore River Planning Area located within Singapore's Central Area.

The bridge was named after Lord Elgin, Governor-General of India (21 March 1862 - 20 November 1863) in 1862 when an iron bridge was built across the river, replacing an older wooden bridge. The current bridge was built in 1929.[1] As this was the first bridge across the river, the two roads leading to it were named North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road accordingly.
