Anderson Bridge is a pedestrian 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,[1] and was named after the Governor of the Straits Settlements and High Commissioner for the Federated Malay States (1904–1911), Sir John Anderson, who officially opened the bridge on 12 March 1910.[2] It forms part of the Singapore Grand Prix's Marina Bay Street Circuit, which debuted on 28 September 2008.
On 15 October 2019, the bridge, along with Cavenagh Bridge and Elgin Bridge (collectively known as the Singapore River Bridges) was gazetted by the National Heritage Board as the 73rd National Monument of Singapore.
