The worlds first 'Double Helix' bridge, surely will have taken inspiration from the previous first helix bridge. It is a 3.5 kilometer pedestrian path that creates a link around the new development 'Marina Bay' in Singapore. 'Inspired by the helicoidal structure of DNA, the pedestrian bridge stretches 280 meters over the bay and includes a computer-controlled lighting system to set the mood'. It is designed by Cox Group (Australian), Arup (UK/World), and Singaporean based, Architects 61. The opening is set for Saturday April the 24th, and is due to be wondrous.
