Anderson Bridge

Named after Sir John Anderson, Governor of the Straits Settlement (1904 - 1911), Anderson Bridge was built between 1908-1909 to take vehicular load of Cavenagh Bridge. it served traffic along the seafront, connecting Empress Place to Collyer Quay. The bridge was constructed of three steel arches and supporting steel girders to accommodate vehicles and electric trams. Its neoclassical style features rusticated archways and a fluted pier at each end. A red granite plaque imported from Aswan, Egypt, presented as part of the opening ceremony, is fixed at the end of the central girder.

Anderson Bridge is one of three Singapore River bridges collectively gazetted as a National Monument.
