Alkaff Bridge

Alkaff Bridge is a pedestrian bridge spanning the Singapore River at Robertson Quay in the Singapore River planning area. Built in 1997 and opened in 1999, it connects Robertson Quay's riverfront promenades. The bridge is notable for its vibrant ArtBridge repainting in 2004 by Filipino artist Pacita Abad, featuring 55 colours and circular motifs. It serves as a functional crossing and a prominent public art landmark along the river.

Visitors can expect a short pedestrian bridge crossing the Singapore River with a highly colorful painted structure featuring circular and abstract motifs in 55 colours. The bridge offers open views of the river, Robertson Quay promenades, restored warehouses, and riverside dining areas. The setting is an urban riverfront with paved walkways on both banks, suitable for walking, photography and viewing the public art up close. The bridge is pedestrian-only and connects the two sides of the Robertson Quay arts and lifestyle precinct.

Built between 1997 and 1999 as part of the Singapore River redevelopment, the bridge is named after the Alkaff family, a prominent Arab merchant family in Singapore. In 2004 it was transformed into a public art project titled ArtBridge by Filipino artist Pacita Abad with a team of volunteers, using 900 litres of industrial paint in 55 colours to create its distinctive circular patterns.

The bridge is recognized as a landmark public art installation along the Singapore River, representing the revitalization of Robertson Quay from former warehouses to an arts and lifestyle precinct. Its bold, colorful design reflects Singapore's support for public art and community art projects and has become an iconic visual symbol of Robertson Quay.
