Jubilee Bridge in the Heart of Singapore

The Jubilee bridge was the brain child of the Singapore nations late Founding Prime Minister and was first opened in tribute to him on 29 March 2015 to allow the large crowds to bid Mr Lee farewell.

Connecting two famed landmarks in Marina Bay - The Esplanade Theatre and the Merlion, the Jubilee Bridge is designed to counterpoise the more elaborate Helix Bridge across the bay. Offering an unobstructed panoramic view of Singapore's magnificent skyline, the Jubilee Bridge has since added to the city's vibrancy and contributed to its aspiration of becoming a walkable city.

The 220m long and 6m wide pedestrian bridge has a 95m main span that is 1.5m deep at mid-span over the busy navigable waterway. The very slender deck is curved in elevation and plan and connected to the adjacent Esplanade Bridge at the centre of the main span. It was constructed using the precast post tensioned balanced cantilever method. The precast segments, each with a unique shape, were fabricated 600km away in Malaysia and transported by road to the storage site adjacent to Marina Bay and then by barge to the bridge.

The bridge has received widespread praise from the government and media in Singapore
