Anderson Bridge



This morning I read in the newspaper that it was the 'birthday' of the Anderson Bridge. As it is one famous little bridge here I did my research and came up with the following facts. Anderson Bridge is a vehicular bridge that spans across the Singapore River. It is located near the river's mouth in the Downtown Core Planning Area of Singapore's Central Area. The bridge was completed in 1910, and was named after the Governor of the Straits Settlements and High Commissioner for the Federated Malay States, Sir John Anderson (1904-1911), who officially opened the bridge on 12 March, 1910. It will become one of the key venues of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, slated for debut on September 28, 2008.
