Year: 2010. Lenght: 280 meters.
Among the odd bridges of Singapore you have to mention the helix bridge, which was opened in 2010. The covered pedestrian bridge is characterized by the unusual design. From outside it looks like a DNA spiral structure. In the evening, when the LED lights turn on, the bridge looks just incredible.
Stahl served as the main building block for the bridge construction. Helix is located in the center of lively Singapore and connects two large districts - Marina Center and Marina Bay. In 2010, a few weeks after the opening, Helix Bridge was awarded the 'World's Best Transport Building' award during the World Architecture Festival Awards. The size of the bridge is quite impressive. Its length is 280 meters. For the tourists and city dwellers, four large viewing platforms were set up on the bridge, opening the magnificent panorama to Singapore's most picturesque districts.
The unique bridge is the result of the collaboration of the best architects in the world who work in the architectural companies Architects 61, Arup and Cox Group. The authors of the bridge say that their form was not chosen by chance. The helix bridge symbolizes peace and life. The unusual bridge construction was even approved by the Feng Shui Specialists, whose opinion is very important in the architectural and construction areas of Singapore.
