Marina Barrage

Marina Barrage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 October 31, 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
