Christina and John Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge, Steel cable-stayed footbridge in Revere, Massachusetts.

The Christina and John Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge spans 151 feet across Ocean Avenue with two outward inclined towers and LED lighting visible from the beach.

The construction began in 2011 following decades of planning, with funding secured through a 2009 stimulus bill and additional state grants totaling over 20 million dollars.

The bridge connects the Wonderland transit station to Revere Beach, which holds distinction as the first public beach established in the United States.

The structure provides a 12-foot wide concrete walkway protected by galvanized steel and duplex coating to withstand industrial pollutants and oceanic conditions.

Miguel Rosales, who designed Boston's Zakim Bridge, created this 52-foot tall structure with outward-leaning towers that frame the access to the Atlantic Ocean.
