Completed in October 2010, the Louisville Arena Pedway connects the existing Galt House Hotel & Suites and the new KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The pedway allows pedestrians to enter the arena above street level and also serve as a gateway into downtown Louisville from a primary freeway entrance. The pedway is designed as a ceremonial entrance into the arena by providing a a dramatic, visual experience.

The all glass structure is composed of one-inch thick laminated glass for the walls and roof, which are supported by laminated glass trusses with dichroic and holographic films, which change colors when viewed from different perspectives and when illuminated from different directions. The glass trusses are secured to the glass walls and roof with stainless steel hardware and structural silicone. The pedway is illuminated internally with LED lights at the base of each truss, which are activated by the movement of pedestrians. The exterior sides of the pedway are rolled perforated metal panels with LED lights behind that are programmed for continuous movement of colors daily with special effects during the events at the arena.
