2) Flood control — being a dam built across the Marina Channel to keep out seawater and
3) New Lifestyle attraction — ideal for all kinds of recreational activities; set to become an integrated watersports hub and

**Last Bus from Marina Barrage: 9.00pm<\/p>\n
shady roads but I believe no one would want to walk along the dusty roads where trucks with sand, stones rumbled past….
So, for the safety of all, take the MRT! <\/p>\n
MRT Station<\/strong>: Marina Bay, EXIT B<\/strong>, walk straight out, turn right to the Pick-up stop to board the Free shuttle bus service to Marina Barrage.
The shuttle is approx at 10 minute intervals, subject to traffic conditions. <\/p>\n
from ECP Exit 17A;
from AYE Exit 18;
from Cross Street\/Central Boulevard;
from Maxwell Road\/Marina Boulevard(NTUC Centre); <\/p>\n
What to bring:<\/strong><\/font>
Your camera!
A shawl or something to keep you warm, might get chilly at sundown.
Sun visor or cap(hold on to it, lest it is blown away). There are shades but one might not get a good view.
Bring umbrellas, but hold on to it lest it is blown away!<\/p>\n
A cafe serves light snacks & from Sundown it will be a pub<\/strong><\/font> with ‘live’ music & serves finger food.
A restaurant serves ala carte dinner.<\/p>\n
