Flyover, 1986 : general view



Photograph

01 Jan 1986

Photographed By Kouo, Shang-Wei, 1924-1988

Information About

This photograph shows a C-shaped flyover, most probably the East Coast Parkway (ECP). The newly reclaimed land in the Marina Bay area is surrounded by the river upon which numerous, small boats can be seen traversing. What seems like the National Stadium can be spotted at the top left corner. Next to it stands the Oasis Building, which is slated to be torn down for the construction of the Sports Hub. The background shows more high rise buildings and a mountain, which is likely to be from neighbouring Malaysia. Title devised by Library staff.
