The Alkaff Bridge is a steel and pedestrian bridge over the Singapore River in Singapore . It is located in the Singapore River planning area and connects Robertson Quay with Alkaff Quay. It was built 1997–1999 and is one of the three pedestrian bridges that should make it easier for pedestrians to reach the two river banks. The steel structure is 57 meters long.
In 2004 the Filipino artist and painter Pacita Abad started the "Art Bridge" project with her team. She painted the entire steel structure of the bridge with 900 liters of paint in 55 shades with 2350 colored circles.
