Skydance Pedestrian Bridge
Skydance Pedestrian Bridge, Steel footbridge in downtown Oklahoma City, United States.
Skydance Pedestrian Bridge is a steel footbridge in downtown Oklahoma City that connects two sections of Scissortail Park across Interstate 40. It spans 380 feet (116 meters) with a width of 20 feet (6 meters) and rises 192 feet (59 meters) above the highway.
Construction began in August 2011 as a civic project to enhance park connections in downtown Oklahoma City. The bridge officially opened to the public in April 2012 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The structure reflects design elements inspired by the mating ritual of the scissor-tailed flycatcher, Oklahoma's state bird. Visitors notice the curved shape that embodies this local symbol as they cross.
The crossing features a smooth, level surface that works well for walkers of all fitness levels. Bring water and sun protection on warm days, as shade is limited along the route.
After sunset, LED lighting systems illuminate the bridge with changing color patterns visible across downtown. This nighttime display transforms the structure into a popular spot for photographers and evening walks.
