BP Pedestrian Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Millennium Park, Chicago, United States.
The stainless steel bridge spans Columbus Drive with a serpentine shape, connecting Maggie Daley Park with Millennium Park in downtown Chicago.
Architect Frank Gehry designed this bridge as his first completed bridge project, which opened alongside Millennium Park on July 16, 2004.
The structure serves as both a passage and acoustic barrier, protecting the Jay Pritzker Pavilion from traffic noise on Columbus Drive below.
The bridge surface features wooden planks and maintains a five percent slope gradient, making it accessible for wheelchairs and pedestrians.
Steel panels wrap around the bridge without traditional handrails, creating continuous flowing walls that reflect sunlight throughout the day.
