Location

In 1862 Tan Kim Seng erected the first bridge on the site of today's bridge, which was named after him. It was replaced in 1890 by a new bridge. The increased traffic forced the construction of a third bridge, which was built in 1950/1951; the name has not changed. The new bridge consisted of prestressed concrete and steel. The new bridge is 20 m wide (twice as much as the predecessor bridges) and 26 m long and can carry up to 13 tonnes of weight per m².

The bridge is besides the former Zouk, who had moved out to Clarke Quay in 2015.[1]

Colloquially, Kim Seng Bridge is also known as Hong Hin Kio (丰 兴 桥) in Hokkien and Fung Heng Lo (also 丰 兴 桥) in Cantonese.
