The Alkaff Bridge, a footbridge, was built in 1997, as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) plan to create a promenade along both banks of the Singapore River which was completed in 1999. In January 2004, The Alkaff Bridge was painted in vibrant colours by Filipino artist Pacita Abad (1946-2004) and a team of rope specialists. The artist and her crew of helpers used 52 different colours and more than 900 litres of industrial-strength paint to transform the bridge into Singapore's first "Bridge of Art".
