Trinity
Bridge
The pedestrian
pathway that runs between Albert Bridge House and
Alberton House leads to the River Irwell. The
Trinity Bridge takes the footpath across the river
to the Lowry Hotel.
The bridge was designed by Santiago Calatrava Valls, a Spanish architect, sculpture and structural engineer. He has created a number of spectacular bridges around the world, as well as an Art Museum in Milwaukee, in the USA, and the BCE Place in Toronto, Canada. A single walkway crosses the Irwell from the
Manchester side but on the Salford side it forks in
mid-air and ramps down towards the Lowry Hotel and
Quay Street. A 41-meter pylon, angled towards
Salford, supports the structure |
