Scissor-Tail Flycatcher over interstate 40 in OKC was erected in 2012.
Oklahoma City’s landmark bridge, SkyDance, 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 Oklahoma’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.
