What) The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is one of three Santiago Calatrava designed bridges being built over the Trinity River in Dallas as part of the Trinity River Project. Construction on the bridge began in spring 2007 with the steel being manufactured in an Italian steel factory that is often used by Calatrava to manufacture his designs. 

    The cable-stayed bridge cost $93 million with a total length of 1,870 feet (570 m), a main-span of 1,197 feet (365 m), and an apex-height of 400 feet (122 m). The signature, 40-story center support arch was topped-off with a central curved span, providing an additional feature to the Dallas skyline, as it can now be seen from many miles away from several directions.

    Why) I have enjoyed viewing or visiting most of the projects that Santiago Calatrava works on so I was not going to pass up my first chance to drive across one of his bridges.

As usual, I enjoyed looking at the cables from several changing angles but I was not able to capture ...

... this interesting view which doesn't look like a bridge at all. (2) I certainly would have tried to ...

... take a walk under the bridge if I had known that I could see something like this. (3)

In fact I didn't even get close enough to notice whether there was water underneath the bridge or not. (3)

Now that I see these pictures I do regret not checking that out but I am happy with ... (4)

... how my last picture turned out.
