Beautiful bridge, which is surprising considering that it's a major one. The Margaret McDermott Bridge carries Interstate 30 across the Trinity River joining Dallas and West Dallas. But it's only four stars because the nearby Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is fantastic. Also, there are a few issues with the bridge that needed repair to the sections that carry pedestrians and bicycles.
A concrete bridge, it includes two suspension arches on each side of the bridge that peak at 350 feet high. It is quite pretty with a main span of 1125 feet. Ten lanes of traffic includes one reversible lane that can swap for traffic.
There is no toll to cross the bridge. It is named for philanthropist Margaret McDermott (1912-2018) who donated millions to institutions linked to the arts, education and science.
