Oklahoma City's' landmark bridge, Oklahoma City SkyDance Bridge, is a 380-foot-long pedestrian bridge and 197- foot-tall sculpture that spans Interstate 40 near Robinson Avenue south of downtown.

The bridge's soaring architecture was inspired by Oklahomas's state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher. The bridge is located on Harvey Avenue between SW 7th and SW 10th.

The bridge is illuminated nightly with LED lights to welcome visitors to downtown. The color of light can be changed remotely, depending on the event or holiday. A lighting policy guides the lighting of the bridge.

Planning for SkyDance Bridge began in 2008 when Mayor Cornett announced a competition to design a pedestrian bridge of iconic status that reflect the cosmopolitan and vibrant qualities of Oklahoma City and serve as a symbol for the City. The bridge opened four years later on April 23, 2012.

Oklahoma City SkyDance Bridge was built prior to development of the MAPS 3 downtown park to avoid disrupting traffic once the new Interstate 40 opens.

Total cost for the pedestrian bridge is $5.8 million; $3.5 million came from ODOT funds and $2.3 million came from the 2000 and 2007 General Obligation Bond Authorizations.
