The Sundial
Bridge crosses the Sacramento River in Redding, California. It connects
the two halves of Turtle Bay Park, as well as the trail systems on
the two sides of the river. The bridge was designed by Santiago Calatrava,
and is typical of his work with cable-stay pedestrian bridges. The
inclined pylon acts as the gnomon of a giant sundial.
