entering Johor Bahru from singapore involves travelling across The
Causeway which links the two cities. Completed in 1924 after four
years' work, The Causeway is 1,056 metres long and extends to a
depth of 23 metres below the water level. In january 1942, the
british army demolished part of it as invading japanese forces
prepare to attack singapore from the north. The japanese soon
effected repairs and The Causeway resumed its role as an important
road, railway and general communications link. The crossing
includes a pedestrian walkway for the energetic. Singapore gets a
good deal of water supply from large water pipes which have been
laid across The Causeway from Johor. |
