Trinity Bridge is a footbridge which crosses the River Irwell and links the two cities of Manchester and Salford in Greater Manchester, England. Designed by Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava, it was completed in 1995.
Trinity Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was one of his earliest bridge works. The bridge has a typical Calatrava design utilising straight white lines as a structure, and is dominated by the rotund pylon which rises to 41m.[1] The bridge crosses the River Irwell, which marks the boundary between Manchester and Salford.
