The team who designed the bridge inclued Singaporean and Australian architects. The main design idea is based on the double helix model of DNA. This can be seen best at night, when the bridge is lit up by a series of lights that show the double helix structure. Pairs of coloured letters on the bridge are lit up in red and green. They represent the four bases of DNA (cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine).

The Helix Bridge is made of about 650 tonnes of stainless steel and 1000 tonnes of carbon steel. Construction of the bridge was done by two local engineering and construction companies. It can only support living beings. The support is by triangle beams. This bridge has triangle beams because the triangle is the strongest shape for building.
