Reply To: Blackhall Place and Macken Street Bridges

There is a picture of the proposed Blackhall Place bridge by Santiago Calatrava on page 310 of Frank McDonald’s book “The Construction of Dublin”.

There is also a picture of the Calatrava bridge for Macken Street on page 89. Apparently the pylon for that bridge is going to be a high as Liberty Hall.

It may be of interest to note that the Dutch city of Rotterdam built a huge ‘Calatravaesqe’ bridge a few years ago (by one of Calatrava’s students) that they now use as a symbol of that city – for promotional literature etc.
