Ord Bridge

It spans the Singapore River at Clarke Quay, located in the Singapore River Planning Area within the Central Area.

The steel truss bridge was named after Colonel Sir Harry St. George Ord (1819–1885), the first British Governor of the Straits Settlements (1867–1873) after it was given the Crown Colony status.

The new name was also an abbreviation of its old name, Ordnance Bridge, which was a reference to the British ordnance depot along Magazine Road.

Now it is commonly referred to as ORD bridge in relation to National servicemen reaching their operationally ready date, and celebrating at the bridge itself On 3 November 2008, the bridge was selected for conservation as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's expanded conservation programme.
