Summary

[edit]
Description

This road was built by convict labour in 1833 which started at the south of Thomson Bridge (now the Elgin Bridge). From 1885 to 1894, steam tramways plied the full length of the road from the town area to the New Harbour (now known as the Keppel Harbour). As the trams could not face the competition of rickshaws, they then ceased operations. The Singapore Electric Train Company had its trams running along the road from 1905 to 1927. Trolley buses also used South Bridge Road as one of their routes which they competed with the "mosquito bus" until 1962 when the current motor bus system was introduced. Today it is one of the major roads leading into Chinatown. An aerial view from the 18th floor of Hong Lim Complex. pp: HDR (3 images) with minimal contrast and sharpening
