Have you seen the new Samuel Beckett Bridge on the River Liffey yet? It looks spectacular. Designed by 'superstar' architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. The whole thing was floated across the sea from The Netherlands earlier this year and is now in position although it is still a building site. To allow ships to pass it will swing to 90º on a pivot close to the south bank of the river. The shape and lines are very elegant. From the river view the bridge takes on the look of a harp which seems an appropriate echo of our national symbol. See what you think.
