One of the architectural gemstones of the famous Millenium park in Chicago Loop is the 280 meters long winding BP Pedestrian Bridge. This beautiful piece of architecture was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry. The bridge looks from aerial/satellite view as a giant silver snake...
This $12.1 million pedestrian bridge is architect Frank Gehry’s first-ever bridge. A truly beautiful structure, the bridge is clad in gleaming stainless steel panels and has a gentle slope and hardwood deck. This snaking structure provides an acoustic barrier between the audience using the park and the traffic noise on Columbus drive.
