The Henderson Waves Bridge, Singapore |
With its series of distinctive undulating wave-like ribs that liken it to a slinky toy, the Henderson Waves Bridge connects the hilltops of Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park. The ribs double as alcoves to provide shelter to the public. It is Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge at about 118 feet above street level, according to the government's Web site, and one of several recent projects intended to improve connectivity between nature areas. From the bridge, visitors can look over the treetops, observe birds in their natural habitats, and admire the city's skyline. The bridge takes on a different look at night, with LED lights dramatically illuminating its wave form.
