SkyWalk, Enclosed walkway in Toronto, Canada
SkyWalk is an approximately 160-metre enclosed walkway of curved metal and glass, designed by the IBI Group, that runs from the western end of Union Station past the CN Tower and Rogers Centre. Its glass front carries the word WALK in white capitals above a row of glass doors, and inside, a long arcade under a curved glass roof has light grey tiled floors, white wall panels and a row of spherical white lights.
The bridge was completed in 1989 by IBI Group and served as the first major construction project in the former railway lands following the CN Tower. It emerged during a period when the city began transforming this industrial area.
The bridge functions as a key link in the PATH system, connecting major gathering points that serve thousands of people daily. It allows visitors to move between different venues while staying sheltered from the weather.
The bridge provides direct access to subway lines and regional train connections, making parking nearby unnecessary. It offers a straightforward way to move between transit hubs and venues without stepping outside.
The SkyWalk passes through the second and third storeys of the Canadian National Express Building, a heritage-listed property completed in 1929. That building had served as a terminus for horse-drawn carts delivering goods from Union Station, so the walkway threads through a remnant of the station's freight past.
