Henderson Waves @Southern Ridges - Overview

Distance:0.3km, Walking Time:15 mins
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore.  It was built with the purpose of connecting the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.

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.
