Marina Barrage (Part 1)

I went for a ktv session in the morning with Ks and headed to Marina Barrage next in the afternoon.

The Marina Barrage is a dam in Singapore built across the Marina Channel between the reclaimed lands of Marina East and Marina South. It was officially opened on 1 November 2008.

The S$226 million project turns Marina Bay and Kallang Basin into a new downtown freshwater Marina Reservoir. It provides water supply, flood control and a new lifestyle attraction. This structure will provide flood control by changing the tide flow into the barrage.

The building of the Marina Barrage required the relocation of Clifford Pier from Collyer Quay to Marina South. I was like a tourist in Singapore, snapping numerous photos of the latest tourist attraction.
