The Southern Ridges

INTRODUCTION

The Southern Ridges are a 9-km chain of hills stretching from Mount Faber Park through Telok Blangah Hill Park to Kent Ridge Park.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) is constructing two bridges & elevated walkway that will link up the hill parks. When completed by early 2008, the linkages will give visitors access to the hill parks to experience the green expanse of the beautiful Ridges.

Bridge across Henderson Road

This bridge spans Henderson Road and the steep slopes to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park.

Bridge across Alexandra Road

This bridge spans Alexandra Road and continues eastward as an elevated walkway skirting around the reservoir and finally linking up to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The bridge has a ramp on each side of Alexandra Road, leads to the Horticulture Park at Hyderabad Road and to the park land at Gillman Village.
