Info
The Cincinnati Skywalk is a series of walkways, primarily indoors and elevated, which allows pedestrians to traverse downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.Built in segments starting in 1971, the 1.3-mile (2.1 km) skywalk was completed in 1997 at a total cost of more than $16 million. Since then, some city leaders have begun to see the skywalk as a barrier to economic development, as it may decrease street-level and sidewalk pedestrian traffic. Some segments of the skywalk have been removed and future demolitions are expected.As of June 2018, the skywalk exists as two disconnected segments: one from W. 6th St. near Central Ave. to an area near E. 5th St. and Walnut St., and another from Government Place and Walnut St. to the area of E. 4th St. near Sycamore.
