The Skydance Bridge in Oklahoma City (OKC) is a 380-foot-long, 197-foot-tall pedestrian bridge featuring a, color-changing LED system that illuminates nightly, often appearing in vibrant blues, purples, and pinks. Inspired by the scissor-tailed flycatcher, it uses 33 floodlights and 16 wash lights to light up the wings, which can be programmed for special events. It features over 600 angled steel feathers on the wings to resemble the state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher.
