Marina Barrage

Officially opened on 31 October 2008, the Marina Barrage spans the 350-metre wide Marina Channel separating the water in Marina Basin from the seawater thus creating Singapore's 15th reservoir.

Marina Barrage consists of a dam that also doubles as a pedestrian bridge that links from Marina South to Marina East.

What better way to find out about this new dam than to go to the Barrage itself and take some photos since I heard that it's a pretty scenic place.

The photos turned out pretty well in spite of the overcast sky. Thankfully, I didn't get caught in the rain because I was only there for a short period of time.
