Esplanade Drive, Singapore (28 July 2017)
Esplanade Drive is a coastal road in downtown Singapore. It connects Nicoll Highway in the north to Fullerton Road in the south across the Esplanade Bridge. The drive refers to the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, presently the piece of land to the north of Marina Bay.
The term Esplanade has been used at different times to mean a different part in the vicinity of Esplanade Drive. In the mid 19th century, it referred to the area that is presently known as the Padang. Then, after land reclamation extended the coastline, the Esplanade was the site of the present Queen Elizabeth Walk. Another round of land reclamation in the 1980s and 90s created the present coastline.
