DNA-inspired: World’s first curved double helix bridge

Marina Sands @ Singapore River_1523

It’s 280 meters long, made of a special stainless steel. The bridge is located beside the floating platform at Marina Bay. It allows pedestrians a direct link to the integrated resort. At its entrance is Singapore’s first art park, the Youth Olympic Park. I like this DNA-inspired bridge, it looks really good at night.

The bridge (in the foreground of the Singapore flyer) will link the Bayfront area to Marina Centre, completing a walking route that brings visitors to the major attractions around the bay including the Esplanade and the future Integrated Resort and Singapore Flyer. The new 280metre-long bridge is envisaged to be a destination point for all visitors to Marina Bay – a place for them to enjoy and catch a panoramic view of the Singapore city skyline.
