Cavenagh Bridge

Cavenagh Bridge is the oldest bridge that is still standing across the Singapore River. It is named after Sir Lieutenant General William Orfeur Cavenagh, the last Governor of the Straits Settlements under the British India Control. It was built in 1868 by Indian convicts. Today, this bridge provides a linkage between Empress Place and the Financial District.
