The Helix Bridge

This guide to the Helix Bridge follows the 2006 international design competition for a pedestrian crossing over Marina Bay, which drew thirty-seven teams before an Australian, British and Singaporean partnership proposed a double-helix structure never built before. You'll hear why the interlocking spiral form saved millions in steel, how it created covered viewing platforms over the bay, and about the glowing letters woven into the outer ring at night. Look for the sequence as you cross — it spells out something specific.
