Massive Pedestrian Bridge Crossing

During my recent visit to Memphis, I stumbled upon this massive pedestrian bridge (see map) that spanned over a railroad. I thought it was crazy enough to share. Even though it does connect the adjacent neighborhoods, it seems like overkill. Especially if you have to navigate the winding ADA ramps. I am sure there is a story behind it. I wonder how much it cost? We will be including more photos of it in our January 2008 update.
