    This beautiful pedestrian bridge in the Puerto Madera section of Buenos Aires is a combination movable and cable-stayed bridge designed by Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava Valls.  It was built between 1998 and 2001.  Calatrava's website http://www.calatrava.com/ main.htm describes it as "a rotating suspension bridge." It is 335 feet long.  The spar can rotate ninety degrees to the pylon pictured directly below, allowing water traffic to pass.  The inclined pylon is 128 feet high.
