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.

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.
