The BP Bridge connects Millennium Park to the Daley Bicentennial Plaza, and makes for easy access over Columbus Drive. The bridge is located right next to the Monroe Street parking garage, so is the logical first stop on a tour of the park.

Designed by famous architect Frank Gehry, BP Bridge is 925-foot-long (and Gehry's first) and rises up high enough to provide some great views of the surrounding area.

The outer part of the bridge is brushed stainless steel, which ties the BP Bridge into another Gehry designed work, the Pritzker Pavilion.
