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 overlooks trees and buildings, with a bench and metal railings 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 concrete pedestrian bridge with metal railings spans over a grassy area and below a forested hillside.
