Not-so Everlasting Love
Hundreds of thousands of love locks have been attached to Paris bridges. The added weight on each panel of some bridges can be more than 1,400 pounds. There is also an aesthetic issue, with the bridges being covered by locks of varied colors, many of which have begun to rust. Workers from the city have been manually removing the locks with bolt cutters. I saw shops that had locks for sale, although they were not advertised as love locks.
