Henderson Waves: A unique architecture bridge in Singapore











Having a fun time on the bridge while taking a rest.


Henderson Waves is a pedestrian bridge which has a unique architecture and distinctive wave-shaped arches. From the bridge, you can have see a view of the Singapore Harbor. It's a nice place for star gazing (though not many stars can be seen in Singapore because of its extremely bright night sky).

After a long walk, we were all exhausted except for Albert. The wooden floor and benches on the bridge were good for resting. It's been a while since I lied down on a wooden platform. The feeling was very nice; the wood had a cooling effect. I suddenly missed the papag (wooden bed) of my Lola Petra in Valdez under the balimbing (star fruit) tree in the 1980s :).

While resting, we told Albert that we couldn't go home because we were up high on the bridge and we didn't know the way. Albert always replied with "It's okay" and went on to suggest on ways to go home. (I just realized that Albert has a very positive outlook.)


About Henderson Waves:
Admire the beautiful skyline as you stroll across this 274 metre-long pedestrian bridge that spans Henderson Road to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. At 36m above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore.

The bridge is also worth visiting for its artistic, distinctive wave-like structure consisting of a series of undulating curved "ribs". These “ribs” also double up as alcoves providing shelter to the public.

Joggers, couples and families with children are a common sight on Henderson Waves during weekends. The bridge has also become a popular photography location in recent months for wedding couples posing against the scenic skyline.

The bridge takes on a different look at night, with the wave-form illuminated with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily.
