Henderson Wave

No it's not the new Mexican wave, but a new pedestrian bridge in Singapore. At 36 metres above Henderson Road it is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore to be exact. It was built to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park.

We actually found the bridge by accident whilst driving up to Mt Faber via the back way. From the carpark it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the beginning of the 'walk'. The length of the bridge is 0.3km and takes a leisurely stroll of around 5-10 minutes to get across.
.
The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel 'ribs" that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved "ribs" form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.

Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.

The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.
