Re: Re: Macken St Bridge – Santiago Calatrava

The bridge was always intended to cross the river perpendicular to the quay walls. This article from 2000 describes it in exactly the position it is currently being built:

“The bridge will span the 120 metres between the north and south quays at right angles from Guild Street on the northern side to 70 metres west of Cardiff Lane on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay.”
