Singapore is a city of pedestrian bridges, but this one - Benjamin Sheares Bridge - spans the Marina Reservoir and accommodates cars. Who was Benjamin Sheares?

Benjamin Sheares was president of Singapore from 1971 to 1981, and died just four months before the bridge was opened to the public. The bridge is the largest and tallest in the small nation-state, at just over 1.1 miles.
