The Trinity

The Margaret McDermott Bridge in Dallas is the second iconic bridge designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Named for Margaret McDermott, the wife of Eugene McDermott, a philanthropist and one of the founders of Texas Instruments, it is part of the Dallas Horseshoe Project, which focuses on rebuilding, expanding, and improving mobility in the Mixmaster where IH-30 and IH-35 converge in downtown Dallas. Echoing the arch shape of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge to the north and the course of the river below, its eastbound and westbound pedestrian and bicycle bridges use specific pathways to safely separate cyclists and slower-moving pedestrians from traffic. Complemented by lighting, these non-vehicular bridges invite visitors to experience the Trinity River and the cityscape at a slower pace.
