Esplanade Bridge is a vehicle and pedestrian bridge in Singapore that connects the Esplanade and Merlion Park across Marina Bay. Walking it gives views of Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion, and the mouth of the Singapore River. The bridge was completed in 1997, is about 260 metres long and 70 metres wide, and links to Jubilee Bridge at its midpoint. At midday there is no shade and crowds of tourists make taking photos difficult.
