Sundial Bridge



         


The Sundial Bridge spans the Sacramento River in Redding, California. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2004 at a cost of $19,700,000.

This pedestrian bridge features a single 217 foot (66m) mast that serves as a sundial, which can be read in a garden to the north of the bridge.

The deck is surfaced with transparent structural glass, with a view of the water below as one crosses.

It is 700 feet (213m) in length and crosses the river without once touching the water.
