Adolphe Bridge (HDR)
A view on the Adolphe Bridge in Luxembourg City. The Adolphe Bridge (Adolphe-Bréck in Luxembourgish) is an arch bridge of 153 metres lenght and stands over the Pétrusse Valley, connecting Boulevard Royal to Avenue de la Liberté.
The Adolphe Bridge has become an unofficial national symbol of sorts, representing Luxembourg's independence, and has become one of Luxembourg City's main tourist attractions. The bridge was designed by Paul Séjourné, a Frenchman, and Paul Rodange, a Luxembourger, and was built between 1900 and 1903. Its design was copied in the construction of Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia, the United States.
The bridge was named after Grand Duke Adolphe, who reigned Luxembourg from 1890 until 1905.
