Henderson Waves bridge: Highest pedestrian Bridge

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">At 36 metres above ground, the <strong>Henderson Waves bridge</strong> is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. Unveiled in 2008, its fantastical shape has lent an unexpected jolt of design savvy to the lush green belt in the south of Singapore. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Henderson Waves bridge is illuminated to stunning effect by LED lighting from 7pm to 2am every night. True to its name, the bridge mimics the undulating shape of a wave, curving and twisting along its entire 274-metre length. Its form is anchored by steel arches and filled in with curved &lsquo;ribs&rsquo; &ndash; slats of Balau wood, a dense hardwood used in heavy construction and which is found only in Southeast Asia.</span></p>
