BP Pedestrian Bridge [SEP] Final plan
The final design for the bridge was revealed in an exhibit at the Chicago Cultural Center on June 10, 2000. As designed and built, the bridge is long and wide, with a Columbus Drive clearance. The clearance was designed to slightly exceed the standard set by the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for urban area interstate bridge clearances, and to allow for additional future layers of pavement below. This height is also greater than the maximum vehicle height of set by the Illinois Vehicle Code. According to the "Chicago Tribune" the width of the "trenchlike" area spanned is approximately , while "The New York Times" reports the bridge is over ten times longer than Columbus Drive is wide.
