About:
An attraction in and of itself, the Skybridge was constructed as part of the River Renaissance Redevelopment Plan for Downtown Davenport. Located 50 feet in the air, the walkway provides panoramic views of where the river bends uniquely from east to west. It is a symbol celebrating Davenport's river heritage. The skybridge also serves to provide a safe and important connection across busy River Drive and the railroad tracks, bringing downtown Davenport together with the riverfront. In 2025, the lighting on the Skybridge was updated to feature light displays that can be customized for the seasons.
