help Henderson Waves, Singapore FAQ

Why is Henderson Waves called Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge?

Its deck crosses Henderson Road about 36 meters above street level, making it the country's highest pedestrian bridge. This refers to its height above the road, not to Singapore's highest geographical walking point.

What creates the wave shape of Henderson Waves?

Curving steel ribs rise above and below the deck to form a sequence of wave-like shelters. Timber seating is integrated into these curves, turning parts of the 274-meter bridge into shaded resting spaces.

Which parks does Henderson Waves connect?

The bridge links Mount Faber Park with Telok Blangah Hill Park. It forms part of the Southern Ridges walking network, which continues through forest and elevated paths toward Kent Ridge.

Is Henderson Waves illuminated at night?

The wave-shaped structure is lit after dark, emphasizing its curved ribs and sheltered alcoves. Because access conditions and lighting hours can change, visitors planning a late walk should check current information from Singapore's National Parks Board.
