The BP bridge was designed by Frank Gehry as part of Millennium Park.  It is 925 feet long and crosses over Columbus Drive.  The bridge will provide a barrier from traffic noise and the band shell. 

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion is one of the most technologically advanced venues of its kind.  The band shell accommodates an audience of 4,000 in fixed seats and room for 7,000 more people on the lawn.
