Granted the Monaco circuit runs close to the ocean, but racing over bridges at "night" in Singapore is a bit spooky if something goes wrong.

Has anyone here been to Singapore and seen the lay of the land of these bridges first-hand?

Wow, are the drivers going to have an option to choose either side of the bridge? That can lead to some major confusion on the other end, and possibly even major collisions.

Seems fairly simple to deal with, even temporarily, with K-rail (Jersey barrier) and the like, and tire barriers. The run under the grandstands on the approach to the ferris wheel is what gives me the heebie-jeebs.
