The Benjamin Shears Bridge is the longest such bridge in Singapore, was opened in 1981, and spans a total length of 1.8 km. The bridge was constructed over land that was reclaimed and was constructed of pre-stressed concrete and is an important link in the Marina area. In this photo, the span of the bridge can be seen as well as some trees at a lower level.
In the background can be seen the wheel of the Singapore Flyer and the capsules with people in it as well as the incredible structure of the Marina Bay Sands from under the bridge. The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore, in the Marina area, right next to the Marina Bay Sands resort, with the exact area being the Marina Promenade. The Flyer is based on the Londoneye, another giant observation platform. The Singapore Flyer presents a great view of the city and some of the attractions. The Flyer has a total height of 165 meters, and reaches 42 stories tall (and is taller than London Eye by 30 m). The Singapore Flyer was opened in April 2008 to the general public. There are 28 capsules in the Flyer, with each capsule holding 28 people. Each trip lasts around 30 minutes. The Flyer however is not the tallest structure in the region, with buildings nearby being taller. Sightseeing buses, along with an MRT station, provide easy access to the Flyer.
