Singapore has never stopped constructing and every time to Singapore there must always be a new place. Lately we have heard of one more place that hits in Singapore.
Henderson Waves is the name of a bridge that connects Telok Blangah Hill park and Mount Faber Park on the left and right of Henderson Road. The design of this bridge is quite unique, apart from being the highest crossing bridge in Singapore (36 meters above the highway), the shape is also creative, that is, like electromagnetic waves. You can take a picture at this bridge, and besides that this place known as one of places to do sports in Singapore, because you can also jog here while enjoy the view.
There are arches and lower arches. But if we are on the bridge again it doesn't look like the bottom curve. From the bridge it feels like an ordinary bridge that is straight and made from wood chips. On the left and right side it is curved. There are big curves, some small ones. Under a large arch there is a kind of staircase that can be used to sit.
Do not be fooled by Google Maps, which if you type Henderson Waves will direct you to enter via Telok Blangah Hill Park. Actually it could be through there, but further along the foot. The closest is to get off at bus stop 14059 using bus no 124, 131, 145, 176, 273. Not far from the bus stop there are instructions & stairs going up, follow until finally you will find the great Henderson Waves on the left. Turn left, walk a little then turn left again when you see a wooden bridge and many people have photos on your left.
