Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge to Top Off Tomorrow

The good folks from the Trinity Trust Foundation had scheduled a topping-off ceremony on Monday morning in the Haynes and Boone offices, where guests could watch the final piece of the Calatrava-designed Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge’s arch get dropped into place. Only problem: the work is progressing more quickly than anticipated. While the ceremony will still take place Monday morning, with Kay Bailey Hutchison and Tom Leppert in attendance, the bridge piece will be installed tomorrow. To my mind, this makes Monday morning’s event a little less attractive. Where once folks were going to get to watch the crane lower a huge piece of steel into a structure that will change the face of Dallas, now they’ll get to — hear Hutchison and Leppert talk about it.
