Alexandra Arch

The bridge, with its curved deck and tilted arch, spans across Alexandra Road like an opened leaf. On one end, it continues to Forest Walk, which is made up of an elevated walkway for pedestrians and earth trails for cyclists through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill Park. On the other, it links via a floral path to the Horticulture Park - or HortPark for short.

Although white in colour during the day,
at night it is illuminated with colours.

The end of Alexandra Arch is the start of Forest Walk, a steel elevated walkway that one walks viewing the forest surrounding it.
Forest Walk can only be done in the daylight as there is no lamp-post. Not only that, there is also no toilet too but there are a few stairs that bring one down to the forest to answer nature’s call.
