Last Link Now In Place For Second Calatrava Bridge

Rick Holter

The last link in the second Calatrava bridge arch on I-30 over the Trinity River has been dropped in.

The Margaret McDermott Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava-- as was the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, completed in 2012.

The arches were constructed in Tampa, Florida, and shipped in pieces to Dallas.

The 15-lane bridge will also have bicycle and pedestrian lanes. It’s expected to be finished by next summer.
