Nichols Bridgeway in Millennium Park

Millennium Park Homepage > Art & Architecture > Nichols Bridgeway

 

The Nichols Bridgeway, the newest addition to Millennium Park is the 625-foot pedestrian bridge that links the Park to The Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing.

Immediately accessible from the Great Lawn at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the bridge rises over the Lurie Garden and crosses Monroe Street. It gently arches to a height of 60 feet, offering breathtaking views of the Park, the city skyline, and Lake Michigan, as it approaches the Modern Wing’s third-floor entrance.

The Nichols Bridgeway is designed by Renzo Piano, architect of the Modern Wing. It opened in 2009.


Millennium Park is located in the heart of downtown Chicago. It is bordered by Michigan Avenue to the west, Columbus Drive to the east, Randolph Street to the north and Monroe Street to the south.
