World bridges: Across Helix Bridge towards the future!

One of the most remarkable futuristic bridges

The shape of the luxurious Helix Bridge is inspired by the DNA helix, from which its name originates. Hence, the shape comes as no surprise. This unique architectural masterpiece, which was designed by the renowned Australian architectural firm Cox Architecture, was completed and opened in 2010. It crosses the Singapore River and connects Marina Centre and Marina South. Its luxurious design is amazing, strongly futuristic and at night it looks like the passageway to an unknown, higher dimension.

Perfect night-time play of colour and light

The lighting of Helix Bridge was created by Arup, which really knows how to play around with light sources. The bridge is equipped with countless LED lights in various colours pointed in various directions, so that pedestrians can see at night, while simultaneously making the structure look truly unique and timeless. White light placed on the inner side of the helix serves to light the way for pedestrians. The other coloured lights point in and out and create an integral light membrane. The glass openings in the floor create a unique connection with the water below. Panoramic views are provided by 4 piers which jut out of the helix into the space above the water.

In 2006, the committee chose this design from a total of 36 proposals. The concept consisted of curving the bridge into an arch that connects seamlessly to the promenades leading along both sides of the riverbank. The luxurious bridge is 280 metres long and is one of the landmarks of modern Singapore.
