The Margaret McDermott Bridge is a steel suspended arch bridge under construction over the Trinity River in Dallas, Texas. It is intended to replace the existing late-1950s/early-1960s bridge, which has reached its end of life. It will carry Interstate 30 (I-30). It was partially designed by Santiago Calatrava, and is part of the Trinity River Project. It was named for Margaret McDermott, an area philanthropist.
