"Singapore River's First Bridge"

Built in 1929, the Elgin Bridge was named after Lord Elgin, the then governor-general of India. Its purpose was to link the Chinese merchants on the southern side of the Singapore River to the Indian traders on the northern side. The first bridge over the river was built on this very site in 1819, hence the name of the two roads leading to it - North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road. At either end of Elgin Bridge are cast-iron lamps, with roundels at the base depicting a lion under a palm tree.
