The roadway in Seville is running almost due east/west,

But a near-copy design was built a few years later outside
Redding, California where the walkway does run due north/south.
Some nice photos of this "Sundial Bridge" over the Sacramento River are here ...

We live across the bay from San Francisco and are anxiously awaiting the opening of our own new bridge.
