In Elementary School I did a science fair project to test to see what type of bridge was the strongest. Looking back, I realize just how poorly I carried out the experiment and I have come to see why cable stayed bridges are less common than I predicted they should be. However, my love of cable stayed bridges has continued to this day. When the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge first opened in Dallas, I was so excited to be able to see an actual cable stayed bridge of the type that I have loved for so long.  This bridge was the first of two Calatrava bridges to be constructed over the trinity river, and begin to revitalize the downtown areas of Dallas.
