Designed by the Spanish engineer Doctor Santiago Calatrava and completed in 1995, Trinity Bridge marks another major inner city regeneration, this time over the River Irwell, which has always marked the invisible border between the Cities of Salford and Manchester. The whole structure rests on one single 40 foot pylon - a kind of tent pole - leaned over at a rakish angle, from which the suspending tension cables hang down to suspend the footbridge deck beneath. Its sculptural appearance and white paintwork inject a striking elegance in an area that has long awaited such a development. This area was a dark, dank, long neglected back end to the city, the such a new development has resurrected the area, especially with the ongoing construction of the new Lowry Hotel on the Salford bank of the river.
