Bridge of Glass, Glass art pedestrian bridge in Tacoma, United States.
The Bridge of Glass extends 500 feet over Interstate 705, connecting the Museum of Glass with downtown Tacoma through three distinct glass installations.
The Bridge of Glass opened in 2002 through a donation from Jim and Carolyn Milgard, marking the transformation of the former industrial Thea Foss Waterway.
The Seaform Pavilion section contains 2,364 glass pieces that form marine-inspired shapes, creating an underwater visual effect for pedestrians walking beneath.
Visitors can access the bridge without charge at any time of day, entering from either the Museum of Glass steps or Pacific Avenue near Union Station.
Two turquoise Crystal Towers rise 40 feet above the bridge deck, containing 63 Polyvitro pieces that illuminate the downtown area during nighttime hours.
