Designed by Santiago Calatrava The bridge has been designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava Valls, who also designed the James Joyce Bridge. He has created a landmark structure with a curved profile leaning northwards. This dramatic shape gives the appearance of a harp lying on it’s side. The bridge is being constructed by Graham Hollandia Joint Venture. Graham Construction have carried out a number of major projects including Taney Bridge in Dundrum. Hollandia have completed many high profile works such as the London Eye.
