Cincinnati Skywalk information


Cincinnati Skywalk over 5th Street near Vine Street
This section of Skywalk crossed 5th Street near Vine Street, connecting Carew Tower with Macy's. It was removed in October 2020.

The Cincinnati Skywalk was a series of walkways, primarily indoors and elevated, that allowed pedestrians to traverse downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.[1]

Built in segments starting in 1971, the 1.3-mile (2.1 km) skywalk was completed in 1997 at a total cost of more than $16 million.[1] Since then, city leaders began to see the skywalk as a barrier to economic development, as it may decrease street-level and sidewalk pedestrian traffic.[2] The skywalk was dismantled in stages from 2002[3] to 2020.[4]
