Check out the visualisations, which show the proposed bridge floating above its support pillars rather than connected to them with anything suitable!
Is it ironic or just humorous to read that the new South Side pedestrian bridge in Chicago is not "hyper-expensive," as a Calatrava design might have been? At $26 million (over $2000/square foot by my rough calculation), they sure paid a Calatrava price. Oh well...at least the new bridge (which I actually kind of like) doesn't have "iconic pop" or "dominate the setting." Or is that ironic/humourous also??
