Hillview Bridge

The new Hillview Bridge re-establishes pedestrian connectivity across Hillview Road and along the Rail Corridor. Railway tracks were embedded into the flooring of the bridge to remind visitors of the Rail Corridor’s history as a railway.

A wooden deck with a bench is surrounded by trees, overlooking buildings in a hilly area under a partly cloudy sky.

Looking for an IG-worthy spot? Check out the lookout deck near the Upper Bukit Timah truss bridge where you can enjoy the scenic view of the lush Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm Nature Park.

A pedestrian bridge extends over a grassy area with a forested hillside and buildings in the background.

In addition, the existing pedestrian overhead bridge along Upper Bukit Timah Road has been extended to connect directly to the Rail Corridor.
