Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor
Wikipedia:
"The new passerelle de Solférino linking the Musée d'Orsay and the jardin des Tuileries was built between 1997 and 1999 under the direction of the engineer and architect Marc Mimram. Crossing the Seine with a single span and no piers, this metallic bridge is architecturally unique and covered in exotic trees (Tabebuias, a Brazilian tree also used for outdoor flooring at the Bibliothèque nationale de France) which gives it a light and warm appearance. Its solidity is, however, never in doubt - at either end, its foundations are in the form of concrete pillars extending 15m into the ground, and the structure itself is made up of six 150 tonne components built by the Eiffel companies. Its innovative architecture brought Marc Mimram the prix de l'Équerre d'Argent for the year 1999.
The bridge also has benches and lampposts for promenaders, who can rejoin the jardin des tuileries through a subterranean passage on the rive droite.
The bridge was renamed after Léopold Sédar Senghor on 9 October 2006 on the centenary of this birth."
