The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas was designed by Santiago Calatrava. It carries six lanes of Spur 366, the Woodall Rodgers Freeway, linking downtown Dallas with West Dallas. Construction began in December 2005, and it opened on March 29, 2012. The article names no client, and calls it a cable-stayed bridge. It reports a cost of $117 million, or $182 million for the wider project.
A steel arch stands perpendicular to the roadway, and 58 white cables twist down from it to the deck. The bridge is 1,206 feet (368 m) long, the main span is 603 feet (184 m), and the arch rises 400 feet. There is no toll.
The arch was topped off on June 26, 2010. On June 1, 2020, several hundred protesters were kettled and arrested on the bridge. They were not charged.
