"The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in Omaha, Nebraska was the winner of the 2009 (Nationa Steel Bridge Alliance) NSBA Prize Bridge Award in the Special Purpose category. The 3,000 ft bridge spans the Missouri River, connecting Council Bluffs, IA to Omaha, NE."

Omaha.net:

"The bridge opened on September 28, 2008, and is named after the Nebraska Senator who secured funding for the project, Senator Bob Kerrey."

"The Bob Kerrey Footbridge is an s-curved cable-stayed bridge with a striking, modern design, perfect for a midday stroll or refreshing night time walk. It’s something of a must-see for visitors, especially at night, when the multi-colored lights are turned on and spiders spin impossibly long webs between the bridges many cables."
