Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing over the Trinity River in Dallas with a white steel arch and 58 cables supporting a six-lane roadway. The arch reaches about 446 feet (136 meters) in height and spans roughly 1,207 feet (368 meters) in total length.

Work began in December 2005 following a design by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, known for his expressive bridges. The structure officially opened in March 2012 and represents the first phase of a larger development project along the riverfront.

The bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, represents the first phase of the Trinity River Project to enhance transportation infrastructure in Dallas.

The crossing links Woodall Rodgers Freeway to Singleton Boulevard and serves as a direct route between downtown and the western neighborhoods. You can view it from different angles along the riverbank or enjoy the elevated perspective on the skyline when driving across.

An LED lighting system transforms the white structure at night into a glowing landmark visible from several parts of the city. The system was installed in January 2013 and enhances the arch silhouette after dark.
