Johor / The Causeway

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 its 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.
