Background
History
Trinity Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was one of his earliest bridge works. The bridge has a typical Calatrava design utilising straight white lines as a structure, and is dominated by the rotund pylon which rises to 41m. The bridge crosses the River Irwell, which marks the boundary between Manchester and Salford. The bridge was re-painted and examined in 2010 as part of the 15-year maintenance programme. The bridge was constructed by Dew Group Limited (formerly George Dew & Company Limited) of Oldham, Lancashire <gallery> File:Trinity Bridge and The Lowry Hotel - geograph.org.uk - 332243.jpg|Detail of Trinity Bridge's structure.
