In Asia such a bridge is not surprising

Abstrakty
The Helix, pedestrian bridge in Singapore, was inspired by the natural form of the curved DNA molecule. The double helix form is created by outer and inner spirals of stainless steel tubing that encircle the length of the deck. The Helix demonstrates that innovative engineers working with collaborative and visionary architects can produce new and exciting solutions. The bridge uses five times less steel than a conventional box girder bridge, and its components are optimised for strength. In terms of lighting, not a single individual light consumes more than 12 watts of power. The pedestrian bridge symbolises "life", "continuity", "renewal" and "growth", which are Singapore's aspirations for Marina Bay, where the Helix was built.
