This bridge, found over the Singapore River, is called the Anderson Bridge. The bridge was completed in 1910 , 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. It formed part of the Singapore Grand Prix’s Marina Bay Street Circuit, which debuted on 28 September 2008.

In the 1990s, due again to the increasing vehicular traffic flow between the northern and southern bank of the Singapore River, the Esplanade Bridge was built to provide faster access between Marina Centre and the financial district of Shenton Way. Construction of the 260-metre long bridge in front of the mouth of the Singapore River began in early 1994 and was completed in 1997.

Anderson Bridge currently still serves as a vehicular bridge, and connects the financial district directly to City Hall. The bridge is located near The Fullerton Hotel (previously Fullerton Building) and the former Merlion Park.  -  Wikipedia

I took these pictures on 28th November 2008 when Jupiter & Venus can be seen clearly with the naked eye. The day was one of those days when both Jupiter and Venus were quite close with each other. I took the opportunity to take a few shots of them over the Singapore sky. The building I used over here is the Old Supreme Court building located in City Hall. There was a Jupiter, Venus and moon conjunction on 1st December but I couldn’t get a good shot of it as it wasn’t a clear sky during the event. It was supposed to be a smiley face but well, it didn’t really happen here..
