The Eco-Link@BKE is an ecological bridge in Singapore which connects the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve with the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.[1]

The Eco-Link is 75 metres (246 ft) long and crosses over the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).[1][2] The bridge is shaped like an hourglass and at its narrowest point is 50 metres (160 ft) wide.[3] Opened in 2012, the Eco-Link is the first such ecological bridge in the Asia-Pacific.[1][4] The Eco-Link@BKE is intended to aid in wildlife conservation efforts in Singapore.[1][2][3]
