East Coast Parkway
The East Coast Parkway (Abbreviation: ECP; Chinese: 东海岸公园大道; pinyin: Dōnghǎiàn Gōngyuān Dàdào; Malay: Lebuhraya Taman Pantai Timur) is an expressway that runs along the southeastern coast of Singapore. The expressway is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) in length, and connects Singapore Changi Airport in the east to the Benjamin Sheares Bridge in the south of the main island, and to the Marina Coastal Expressway. It is the only expressway in Singapore that does not link with another expressway at either ends. However, it used to be linked with the Ayer Rajah Expressway, but it has been truncated in December 2013 as the job has been taken over by the Marina Coastal Expressway. It also has an interchange with the Pan Island Expressway at the Changi Flyover, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the eastern end of the expressway.
