2020 - BC-AB Road Trip - 93 of 214 - Calgary, Alberta - Peace Bridge - 3 of 3

            Walking Calgary, Alberta's Bow River pathway a photo of the cool Peace Bridge is not easy to pass up - why not take more than one shot?

Some people think Santiago Calatrava’s Peace Bridge resembles a giant Chinese  “finger trap", others call it a  "twizzler” and some cardiologist call it, “the stent.” 

Calatrava defines the bridge  structure as a helix developed over an oval cross section with two clearly defined tangential radii creating an architectural space within - got that?

No matter what you call it, it is a striking piece of sculpted steel.  The bridge opened 24 March, 2012.

Calatrava is a structural engineer, born in 1951 in Valencia, Spain and is renowned for his bridges; train stations and museums.
