The Henderson Waves Bridge in Singapore:
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.
The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.
Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.
The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.

Gordon, you seem to enjoy pedestrian (and bike) bridges, so you might be interested in this design for a bridge over the Danube river in Linz, Austria by Benthem Crouwel Architects:

They don’t have much info about it on their website, but I think it was their entry in a competition for a new bridge. I’m not sure if it won the competition.
