Rediscover Singapore - The Singapore River

Sail down the river which brings us life, winding through my Singapore this is home truly that's our National Day Theme Song sung by Kit Chan and penned by Dick Lee during the 9th August 1998. The Singapore River is 3.2 kilometres long from it sources from Kim Seng Bridge to where it empties into Marine Bay winding through Jiak Kim Bridge, Robertson Bridge, Pulau Saigon Bridge, Alkaff Bridge, Clemenceau Bridge, Ord Bridge, Read Bridge, Coleman Bridge, Elgin Bridge, Cavenagh Bridge, Anderson Bridge, Esplanade Bridge, Helix Bridge, Bayfront Bridge and finally Benjamin Sheares Bridge. Today the river is part of the Marina Reservoir after damming the Singapore River at its outlet to the sea to create a freshwater reservoir with the building of a dam at the end of the river known as Marina Barrage.
