Another
pedestrian bridge with a distinctive architecture and touted as the highest of
its kind in Singapore is the Henderson Wave Pedestrian Bridge. At 36m above
Henderson Road, it connect two nature areas, Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah
Hill Park. What is unique about this pedestrian bridge and worth visiting is
its distinctive wave-like structure.
The
bridge itself is straight timber deck, but decorated on one side with
undulating curved steel ribs which double up as alcoves providing shelter to
the pedestrians. These ribs forming a wave is made up of seven undulating
curves that alternately rise over and under its deck. The alcoves functions as
shelters with seats within. These wave-forms are equip with LED lamps and
lighted at night.
While
at the bridge during the day, you can enjoy the harbor view, the surrounding
neighborhoods, and the forest.
