Calatrava bridge

Two large sections of the Fourth Bridge on the Grand Canal, designed by Spanish-born architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava, will move by boat along Venice's Grand Canal during the night of July 27-28, 2007, reaching their final home near the city's major railway station.

Positioning and installation of the first lateral section of the bridge near Piazzale Roma will happen on July 28 and continue through the day. On July 29 the section of the bridge on the opposite bank, near Stazione Santa Lucia, will be installed.

The central portion of the bridge will be moved to the site on August 7. On August 11, the three sections of the bridge will be connected, spanning the Grand Canal.

The arched, steel structure of the bridge, which is now about to be put into place, is 308 feet long overall, with a central span of 266 feet, and rises from a height of 10.5 feet over the canal on the embankments to 30 feet at midpoint.
