DNA-inspired: World's first curved double helix bridge at Marina Bay
Singapore's waterfront now sports a curving structure that's being called an architectural marvel
The opening of the bridges and the Youth Olympic Park is an important milestone event for Marina Bay, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority
t's 280 meters long, made of a special stainless steel, was lovingly assembled over two years with great precision and is already being touted as an architectural marvel and engineering feat. Officially named "The Helix," the
sweeping, curving structure is the world's first double helix bridge and joins CNNGo's list of 24 of the world's most amazing bridges.
The bridge is located just beside the floating platform at Marina Bay, and when Phase 2 of Marina Bay Sands is open in June, it will allow pedestrians a direct link to the integrated resort. At its entrance is Singapore's first art park -- the Youth Olympic Park -- which opened at the same time as the bridge, and alongside it is the vehicular bridge to the casino resort, called Bayfront Bridge.
