  Whirlpool Bridge at Turtle Bay- Redding, CA:

The Whirlpool Bridge at Turtle Bay design creates a bridge between two uniquely different environments- one natural, an arboretum; one manmade, a museum.

 Physical Model of the Single Pier for the Cable Stay Bridge The bridge is an interpretation of the river over which it spans. The cable stay bridge's whirlpool-like twists and turns capture the bends and movements of the water. The winding shape is further enhanced through the inclusion of a pedestrian viewing platform at its center (a stage for special events). The platform provides a view over the heart of the Sacramento River.
