Passerelle Jim Morrison

Passerelle Jim Morrison, footbridge in Paris, France

The Passerelle Jim-Morrison is a pedestrian footbridge over the Port de l'Arsenal, linking Boulevard Bourdon in the 4th arrondissement with Boulevard de la Bastille in the 12th, in line with Rue Mornay. Its light grey metal truss has crisscrossing diagonal beams forming a shallow arch, a flat walkway deck, vertical posts and horizontal rails, and it rests on a masonry pier and end abutments. A plaque on the upper chord reads "PASSERELLE JIM MORRISON".

Built in 1825, the footbridge crosses the Port de l'Arsenal in line with rue Mornay, linking boulevard Bourdon in the 4th arrondissement with boulevard de la Bastille in the 12th. Unlike other Paris bridges, it stayed out of official nomenclatures until February 2025, when a vote of the Conseil de Paris, ahead of the 60th anniversary of the Doors' founding, gave it the name Jim-Morrison; before that it was called passerelle de l'Arsenal or passerelle Mornay.

The bridge was long called passerelle de l'Arsenal or passerelle Mornay, after the street leading to it. In February 2025 the Conseil de Paris voted to rename it for Jim Morrison (1943–1971), singer and poet of the Doors, who died in Paris, ahead of the band's 60th anniversary. A plaque on the upper chord reads "PASSERELLE JIM MORRISON".

The footbridge carries pedestrians over the Port de l'Arsenal in line with rue Mornay, linking boulevard Bourdon in the 4th arrondissement with boulevard de la Bastille in the 12th. The nearest metro stations are Quai de la Rapée, Bastille and Sully - Morland; the old Arsenal station entrance on boulevard Bourdon is closed. The deck is metal, with lattice sides of crisscrossing diagonals.

Until February 2025 the bridge had no official name in Paris's bridge registers, unlike every other crossing in the city; it was known as passerelle de l'Arsenal or passerelle Mornay, after the street leading to it. The Conseil de Paris then voted to rename it for Jim Morrison, who died in Paris in 1971, ahead of the 60th anniversary of the Doors' founding. A plaque on the upper chord reads "PASSERELLE JIM MORRISON".
