Chose a rather unusual day to visit the Marina Barrage...it was raining,a heavy down pur too intially.However all the outlook was more or less kind off meant for most of the shots.Built across the Marina Channel between the reclaimed lands of Marina East and Marina South the Marina Barrage was officially opened on 1 November 2008.

With these works...the Marina Bay and Kallang Basin now form the new downtown Marina Reservoir(which is in fact a fresh water catchment area...amazing!).From my understanding,the barrage acts as a dam in ensuring flood control by changing the tide flow in and out of the Marina channel.

Had previously bought a street directly to just browse the whereabouts of the various sites i might want to visit sometime soon.Found it rather interesting as there is in in fact a lot of tunneling and construction work going on in the vicinity.
And well for the fact that a future mrt station will be running true this very portion raises alot of questions...lets face it...practically a whole chunk of Marina was crafted out of reclaimed land.
