Essentials about the Helix Bridge in brief

The Helix Bridge is one of the architectural highlights of Singapore, which is definitely not lacking in structural highlights. The pedestrian bridge, which spans Marina Bay in the center of the city, has the structure of a DNA double helix. Already in the year of its opening in 2010, the bridge won the award as “World’s Best Transportation Building”.

The structure of the Helix Bridge

The bridge has viewing platforms at four strategic locations that offer beautiful views of the Singapore skyline. At night, the bridge is illuminated by a series of lights that highlight the structure of the double helix and create a special visual experience. The four nucleic bases of DNA are represented by pairs of colored glowing letters “c” and “g”, and “a” and “t” (cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine). For those who want to know: The DNA sequence shown is fictitious and has no relation to any DNA currently known to exist in a living being.
