This past Fall, the 650-foot-long Holton Viaduct Marsupial Bridge opened up in Milwaukee. The new bridge is suspended above the Milwaukee River and hangs underneath the existing Holton Viaduct Bridge, carrying pedestrians from Brady Street to Commerce Street in the Brewer's Hill neighborhood of Milwaukee. The bridge is remarkably polished from end to end and is an amazing sight, particularly at night.
The combination of wood, stained concrete, and lighting works well together:

Interesting feeling when you're cradled in the "pouch" of another bridge:

The original bridge's steel girders are a solidly imposing sight:

On a wood bench anchoring the bridge's south side, strange light discs:
