This very attractive structure was built as a tourist attraction
and to connect downtown Davenport to the riverfront casino district.
While no one argues how interesting it looks, many see the project
has a huge financial boondoggle.
The walkway is suspended from four sets of towers and two elevator
structures. The roof is connected to the suspension cables, and the
walkway is supported from the roof. The structure crosses a parking
ramp, a 4 lane highway (US-61/US-67), a casino parking lot, and a
railroad track.
