The Bridge of Glass is a 500-foot (150 m) pedestrian partially-covered footbridge spanning Interstate 705 in Tacoma, Washington.[1][2] It was opened in 2002 as a gift to the city.[2] The Bridge of Glass connects the Museum of Glass on the Thea Foss Waterway to the downtown and attractions along Pacific Avenue such as Union Station, Washington State History Museum, and Tacoma Art Museum.[3] Together, these attractions make up an area of Tacoma described as "Museum Row."[4] The Bridge of Glass was designed by Texas architect Arthur Andersson and is decorated with artworks by Dale Chihuly.[5] Chihuly has described the Bridge of Glass as "the gateway that welcomes people to Tacoma."[6] It is accessible and free to the public 24 hours a day, lighting up during the nighttime.[4]
