Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is one of three Santiago Calatrava-designed bridges being built over the Trinity River in Dallas, Texas (USA) as part of the Trinity River Project.

Construction on the bridge is beginning spring 2007 with the steel being manufactured in an Italian steel factory often used by Calatrava to manufacture his designs. The factory made the steel for his Athens stadium.[1] Upon completion, it will connect Spur 366 (Woodall Rodgers Freeway) in downtown to Singleton Avenue in west Dallas. The cable-stayed bridge is to cost $93 million, its total length will be 1,870 feet (570 m) with a main-span of 1,197 feet (365 m), and an apex-height of 400 feet (122 m).[2]
