Henderson Waves

Henderson Waves is Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge at 36 metres above Henderson Road, linking Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park in Bukit Merah. The 274-metre wave-form structure is part of the Southern Ridges park connector. Opened in 2008, it is noted for its undulating curved steel ribs clad in Balau wood and for offering panoramic views of the city, harbour and southern parks.

Visitors can expect an elevated, undulating pedestrian bridge with seven wave-like ribs forming sheltered alcoves with seating. The deck is clad in Balau timber and curves 274 metres across Henderson Road, connecting forested hill parks. The setting is within the Southern Ridges with lush secondary forest, city and harbour views, and interpretive signage. At night the waves are illuminated from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The bridge is for pedestrians only and is explored on foot as part of a park walk.

Constructed as part of the Southern Ridges project to link parks from Mount Faber to Kent Ridge, Henderson Waves was designed by London-based IJP Corporation with Singapore-based RSP Architects Planners & Engineers and opened on 10 May 2008. It was conceived as an architectural landmark integrating urban park connectivity with distinctive wave-form engineering.

An architectural landmark and recreational icon of the Southern Ridges, Henderson Waves represents Singapore's integration of nature, urban design and public park connectivity. It is a popular viewpoint and photography location and forms a key segment of the Southern Ridges nature and heritage trail linking several historic and nature parks.
