Calatrava brige in Venice

Venice not accepts something new, really... I expected to see fresh and glamorous brand looks bridge by Calatrava as new pearl of Venice, piece of new age near the gate to ancient town. But just a few days it was opened, it again with scaffolds, dusted and dirty. I can't make pictures from some sides because of crowds of wast near it's stands... Bridge has a lot of fine details, made very accuracy and carefully, except of welding of subconstractions. So, my impressions confused... Not so clear... But it is Calatrava! Help to my mind!:)
