After a really really long walk (precisely 2.7km I think), we finally arrived at Henderson Waves!
Henderson Waves
Distance: 0.3 km
Walking Time: 05 mins
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.
The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.
Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.
The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.
How to get there?
By Bus: take bus service number 131, 145, 176 or 648 alight at bus stop along Henderson Road, take the staircase up to Mount Faber Park.
By Car: Parking is available at Mount Faber Carpark D (17 lots) and Telok Blangah Hill Park Carpark 1 (17 lots) & Carpark 2 (total 39 lots)
Walking up Telok Blangah Hill is really tiring, with your jeans on, the hot sun.. gosh!
Hooray! We arrived!
My man.. standing right there
A view to kill! Once again, people who are afraid of heights beware!
The sun was on its low after a while
These wave like structures serve as shelters as well!
The wave like structure throughout the whole bridge. Serves as a form of shelter as well
There you go.. dehydrated.
How can anyone smile when the glare is on you!
Nice trees.
Giddy heights!
Can you see how high we are?
Twist!
Yeah, we were happy.
