Yarışmalar-Competitions

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 is seeking design ideas for two bridges
and walkway that will link up the hills and give users a different
experience to enjoy the expanse of the parks at the Ridges. The Competition
calls for suitable designs that will complement the rustic character of the
Southern Ridges' natural landscape, respect the terrain of the park setting
and give a memorable experience to the visitors of the hill parks. For each
bridge, the Winner will be appointed as the Project Consultant for the
development of the bridge.

The two bridges consist of:
a. Henderson Crossing - This bridge will span across Henderson Road and the
steep slopes to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park.
b. Alexandra Link - This bridge will span across Alexandra Road and continue
eastward as a walkway to skirt around the Public Utilities Board (PUB)
Reservoir and link to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The bridge will also have a
ramp on each side of Alexandra Road to link to the sidewalk at Hyderabad
Road and to the park land at Gillman Village.

For each bridge, the prize monies for the winning and merit schemes are:
Winner : SGD$ 20,000
Two Merit Prizes : SGD$ 8,000 each
For each bridge, the winner of the Competition will be appointed as the
