"Inspired by Oklahoma’s state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher, Skydance bridge soars over Interstate 40. The bridge is a 380-foot-long pedestrian bridge with a 197-foot-tall sculpture." It cost $5.8m.

The Sky Dance, or “Scissor Tail” Bridge in OKC. I’ve driven under this so many times over the years I’ve lost count. While I do like the bridge, I think it’s a perfect example of how the wrong setting can mar an otherwise appealing design. To me it always seemed odd, or out of place in its “concrete” jungle setting, especially if you’re traveling on Interstate I-40 which it crosses. Such a bridge would have been better off by itself in a park as a standalone structure. 
Just my opinion…
