The Helix Bridge is the Singapore bridge opened in 2010 that is shaped like a pair of intertwining DNA strands.
The pedestrian bridge crosses Marina Bay and connects the Marina Centre area with Marina South. Its official name is The Helix, while its earlier project name was the Double Helix Bridge. The form uses two steel spiral members that wrap around one another, creating the bridge’s DNA-inspired appearance.
The structure includes sheltered walkways, viewing platforms and distinctive circular lookout areas. Colored lighting emphasizes the double-helix geometry at night, making it one of Singapore’s most recognizable modern landmarks.
The Helix Bridge is a pedestrian crossing, unlike the nearby Benjamin Sheares Bridge, which carries road traffic. It is also separate from the Jubilee Bridge, another pedestrian bridge in the Marina Bay area.
