The Helix Bridge

The Helix Bridge gives easy access to any travelers looking to explore Singapore by foot!!!
I went to the Singapore Flyer in the morning and got some delicious lunch near the food plaza! After lunch I wanted to see more of this city, so I walked across the bridge and found myself at the Marina Bay!
Loved how this is designed, there are a couple of viewing decks on the side, so you can take your selfies with the skyline behind you!!! At night it does light up *bummed I wasn’t there long enough to see it*.

Not only is The Helix Bridge an easy way to get from Marina Centre to Marina South, it is an attraction in and of itself. The bridge offers great day and night views of the bay and is one of the most architecturally interesting pedestrian bridges that I have seen.
The bridge opened on 24 April 2010, the design was inspired by the form of the curved DNA structure. At night pairs of colored letters c and g, as well as a and t on the bridge light up at night in red and green to represent cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine, the four bases of DNA.
If you visit Singapore you will inevitably find yourself on one side of this footbridge, cross it and enjoy the view!
I made a short video of the bridge which you can view by clicking this link:

I am always surprised to see people reviewing bridges (okay, I know, I’m reviewing a bridge, but I’m only doing it because everybody else is), but I guess that is what one of those really cool things abot Unilocal — people will review anything and everything. So, this is a pedestrian footbridge that allows you to cross from the waterfront over to the Marina Bay sands and it is shaped like a helix — you know that genetic thing that is supposed to be the building block of life and also the computer code (if that is the proper term — apparently it is because Computer Science students study it) that defines who you are. As for me, well, I saw it on Google so I decided that I would at least go and check it out — at least I knew what it was as opposed to walking across it and knowing none the wiser.

This bridge was absolutely beautiful! The architecture was noteworthy and cool and it had the million dollar view of the Marina Bay. I was able to take the bridge from the Marina Bay Shoppes to my hotel (Mandarin Oriental). It was a nice 15 minute walk.

I think this place is really cool. If you know your biology, the curve structure of the bridge is supposed to mimic the structure of a dna. If you dont know biology (raise hands here), this place is still pretty cool. The smooth curved waves really flow well as it connects the two ends. The led lights at night soften the steel structure even more … an excellent choice compared to the harsh light of the nearby lamp post. good job guyss!

Very cool and unique bridge across the harbor. Connecting the Marina Bay Sands with the Esplanade the helix is one of the more unique bridges in the world with its undulating and winding helix design. So beautiful at night.

Why can’t I get my pictures of the Helix Bridge as nice as everyone else’s? Must be my crap Samsung Mega 5.8 camera.
I digress. This bridge is cool. Today must have been the Singapore bridge day… The Family first triumphed over the Henderson Waves and now we’ve conquered The Helix Bridge.

I’ve only walked across two other bridges in my life. The Brooklyn bridge and the Golden gate bridge. The Brooklyn bridge has it’s history but not beauty. The Golden Gate bridge has it’s beauty and The Helix Bridge. well it has it’s own DNA structure. literally. The bridge has it’s beauty in a modern kind of way. It’s best to come here at night when it’s all lit up and you can enjoy the view of the marina. Keep in mind that in Singapore you can’t just wave your hand for a taxi. You have to go to a taxi stop. so if you cross this bridge FROM the hotel you are pretty much walking to you next destination. If you want a taxi walk back to the hotel.

super fan of this bridge. perfect view overlooking the river towards the financial district. place to go for tourists, its an awesome photospot. going in e night is even better with e bridge lighted up.
on e ground you could see signs of DNA like c g a and t. makes me feel like im walking in a artery tube. :P pardon my imagination. goes wild sometimes.

The Helix Bridge is one of the most pretty pedestrian bridges I ever walked through.
The whole structure just lighted up like a X’mas tree. Walking through it is like walking through a river of stars…
Linking up Marina Bay to Marina South, for some might be just a walkway.
For someone in biological science, the design does have other significances: A left handed designed DNA structure. c & g, a & t
For me just a nice walk underneath all these lights, a cool breeze from the water… and oh so pretty like in a fairy tale!
