What are the so-called “signature bridges”?
Signature bridges have a unique design that combines distinctive artistic elements with a functioning structure, often using unconventional materials and enhanced lighting. The idea of signature bridges was included in the Trinity River Corridor Project master plan to maximize the potential of the project, to create an image that is “Distinctively Dallas” and to increase the beauty and benefits of the corridor. Besides creating magnificent Dallas landmarks that will attract millions of visitors and residents to the corridor, the signature bridges can promote favorable land uses and neighborhood revitalization in the adjoining areas. The Woodall Rodgers Extension Bridge and the Interstate 30 Bridge are both under design as signature bridges, and funds are being raised now to create a signature bridge for the Interstate 35E crossing of the Trinity River.
