Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is designed by internationally renowned architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. This stunning bridge with a 400 foot center arch connects Woodall Rodgers Freeway seamlessly to Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas and the new restaurant areas such as Trinity Groves and Sylvan 30.

Besides providing the City with a signature structure and artfully changing the skyline, City, business and civic leaders are excited about the revitalization and economic development the bridge has spurred for the West Dallas neighborhoods and the catalyst it has been to bring people down to the river. This new connection over the river has also helped foster unity across the north and south divide in the City.

Architecturally, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge features a 400 foot steel arch with 58 cables radiating from it in a lyrical fashion. The bridge architect and enginee is Santiago Calatrava and

The exciting restaurant incubator community, Trinity Groves, is popular with people throughout Dallas for the food, music and attractive renovated buildings and community-style outdoor patios.Â This area is flourishing with new employment opportunities while generating interest in further development within the community. Apartment complexes, new homes, cottage businesses, and shopping options such as Sylvan 30 all point to important economic development and growth for the West Dallas area.

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge first opened in March 2012 with a celebration of parades, a street fair, live music, fireworks and a ceremonial ribbon run as 40,000 people joined the weekend long festivities.
