Alexandra Arch

Alexandra Arch

Distance: 0.08 km
Walking Time: 05 mins

The bridge, with its curved deck and tilted arch, spans across Alexandra Road like an opened leaf. On the Hyderabad Road side, the bridge is connected to HortPark - the gardening hub, via the Floral Walk. Near the bridge is Gillman Village, a former British military camp in the early 20th century, is now home to an eclectic mix of restaurants, pubs and art galleries.

At night, the bridge will dazzle with colour-changing LED lights. The lights display will be on between 7pm and 12am daily.

The Alexandra Arch is also part of The Southern Ridges, a 9km chain of green spaces which spans across Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Kent Ridge Park and ends at West Coast Park, each seamlessly linked by foot trails and connection bridges.

The opened leaf-shaped Alexandra Arch then welcomes you to HortPark – the gardening hub. Enjoy a delightful stroll down the Floral Walk lined with blooming flowers and pick up some gardening ideas at the HortPark!

As I am only covering about the Alexandra Arch today, I will only focus on Alexandra Arch, for more information about HortPark or The Southern Ridges, please visit the npark website or Uniquely Singapore - The Southern Ridges

For people who would want to visit Alexandra Arch or just simply to take a picture of the bridge, I would recommend you visit there at night, probably after dinner. You can have a slow stroll on the bridge, enjoying the view of the stunning colorful LED lights and it is also quite a perfect place for couples.
It will also be more convenient if you travel there by car: Parking is available at HortPark-the gardening hub.

Ratings :
Beauty : 4/5 (The dazzle colour-changing LED lights truly worth the trip)
Overall : 4/5 (If you are free, do consider going there at night and have some time to relax yourself. You can go to the nearby Hortpark too, so its worth it.)
