Skydance Bridge about to rise up in Oklahoma City

The Skydance Bridge soon will begin to rise in the Oklahoma City's skyline.

The huge steel components that will form the bridge have been completed, and by Dec. 8 the sculpture that evokes Oklahoma's state bird will be in place, city Public Works Director Eric Wenger told the city council Tuesday.

City leaders say they hope it will become one of central Oklahoma's defining structures.

The steel was manufactured by the local company W&W Steel.
