Santiago Calatrava is identified worldwide with the design of bridges.The Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay was his first free-standing bridge in North America, as well as his first steel, inclined-pylon, cable-stayed bridge in the United States. Funding for construction of the bridge was provided largely by the Foundation. Additional funders were the City of Redding, state and federal government, and Turtle Bay. Upon completion, the bridge wasgifted to the City of Redding.
The McConnell Foundation funded a 27-minute documentary, Angle of Inspiration, which premiered on July 3, 2004 at the newly restored Cascade Theatre in downtown Redding.The bridge had its grand opening the next day, July 4. Angle of Inspiration documented the process of envisioning and building the bridge without shying away from the controversy it generated in the community. The film has been shown on public television stations and has been warmly received at film festivals across the nation.
