Facts and practical information

Spanning the waters of the Singapore River, the Helix Bridge is a marvel of engineering and design that complements the urban landscape of Singapore's Marina Bay area. Officially opened in 2010, this pedestrian bridge stretches for 280 meters and is renowned for its unique structure inspired by the shape of DNA, a nod to the essence of life and continuity.

The Helix Bridge, with its intertwining steel mesh, stands not only as a functional passageway but also as an artistic masterpiece. It is illuminated at night by lights that accentuate its double-helix structure, creating a stunning visual spectacle for both locals and tourists alike. The bridge is equipped with viewing platforms that offer panoramic views of the Singapore skyline and the Marina Bay Sands complex.

Designed with a canopy that provides shade in the daytime and a lighted pathway at night, the bridge ensures comfort and safety for its users. Its construction reflects Singapore's commitment to innovative urban development and its status as a city that values both aesthetics and practicality.
