The bridge is part of a 4.2-kilometer-long man-made waterway designed to integrate residential development with ecological features.
The Punggol Waterway project, including its bridges, received the Global Award for Excellence from the Urban Land Institute in 2012.
The bridge structure utilizes a curved design to mirror the naturalistic winding path of the restored waterway below.
It is integrated into the North Eastern Riverine Loop, a 26-kilometer park connector network.
The area surrounding the bridge was designed to mitigate urban heat island effects through extensive riparian planting.
Sunrise Bridge is a prominent architectural landmark located within Punggol Waterway Park in Singapore. The bridge connects the residential zones of the Punggol New Town across the artificial Punggol Waterway. Its design features a wide, elevated pedestrian pathway that serves as a vital artery for the park's network of cycling and jogging tracks. The structure is specifically engineered to offer unobstructed views of the waterway, particularly during dawn when sunlight reflects off the surface. It functions as a connector between the Nature Cove and the Recreation Zone of the park.
