Helix Bridge

The Helix Bridge is a 280 metre pedestrian bridge that links the Marina Centre to Marina Bay.  It was opened in April 2010 and is the world's first curved bridge.  The curved design is created by two opposing spiral steel members, held together by a series of connecting struts, symbolising "life and continuity", "renewal", "everlasting abundance" and "growth", and resembles the structure of DNA.  Australian architects Cox Group and engineers Arup were part of the International design consortium.

There are a number of circular viewing platforms on the bridge for photo opportunities of the city skyline. 

At the entrance to Helix Bridge on the Martina Bay side, there is a photoscape called "Friendship".  The photos were taken by a group of young volunteer photographers that captured the inspiring and memorable moments experienced by the 3,000 athletics during the Singapore 2010 Youth Olypmics Games.
