Santiago Calatrava’s beautiful Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin opened for traffic this morning following an official ceremony marking the event yesterday.
This is a work of art that I was privileged to see in September while it was still under construction.
To view Calatrava’s work in the context of the other historic and contemporary Dublin bridges along the River Liffey, check out my September post entitled Santiago Calatrava’s Dublin Bridges (And More) By Dawn’s Early Light.

Is there any info on the background of this structure’s’ construction and what inspired its design or what it may signify and why it is named after Samuel Beckett? it is interesting, thanks.
