Denver, Colorado: Millennium Bridge

If you head west on foot on the 16th Street mall, eventually you'll run into some railroad tracks and a light rail system. What do you do to get to Lower Downtown?

Walk over a bridge, naturally. And this bridge is a spiffy one, the first bridge using post-tensioned structural construction in the world - according to Wikipedia. We'll assume they know what they are doing.

The idea was to make it easy for pedestrians to cross over the tracks without having to go up and down a lot of steps. The beams apparently cut down on the size and depth of the bridge, so there's less walking involved.

From there, it's an easy walk to the riverfront. And you won't be too tired when you arrive.
