Description

The Adolphe Bridge, sometimes referred to as the New Bridge, is an important and historic arch bridge which is located in the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourg City. Built between 1900 and 1903, this bridge stands some 43 meters (138 feet) above the Pétrusse River, connecting Boulevard Royal and Avenue de la Liberté. Named after the Grand Duke Adolphe who was head of state from 1890 until 1905, the bridge gained quite the popularity since its opening because it was considered to have the biggest stone arch in the world that is measured at 85 meters (279 feet) long.
