The Denver Millennium Bridge is the world's first cable-stayed bridge using post-tensioned structural construction.[1] Located near LoDo (Denver's lower downtown), in Riverfront Park, it connects the 16th Street Mall with the Commons Park in the Central Platte Valley District of the Union Station neighborhood. The bridge is one of three pedestrian bridges between Downtown Denver and the Highland neighborhood.
