excellent thread. there are some amazing pedestrian bridges around the world.
there are two pedestrian bridges under construction in portland right now. well, one pedestrian and one transit-bike-and-pedestrian.
the gibbs street pedestrian bridge will provide much needed access across i-5 and two major avenues to the tram and south waterfront. it's pretty unspectacular.

this pic is from last month:
the portland-milwaukie light rail bridge will ... wait for it ... carry the new portland-milwaukie light rail orange line across the willamette, and be closed to vehicular traffic but open to pedestrians and bikes. this bridge, however, looks pretty great. construction on it just started recently, and it's supposed to open in 2015.
