Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, Road bridge in central Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
The steel structure extends 355 meters across the Alzette valley, connecting Luxembourg City center with the European quarter on Kirchberg Plateau.
The bridge, designed by architect Egon Jux, opened on October 24, 1966, as part of Luxembourg's initiative to develop the Kirchberg area.
Named after Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, the bridge received its common name 'Red Bridge' from the color of its metal framework.
The bridge's 26-meter width accommodates two traffic lanes in each direction, a tramway, dedicated bicycle paths, and pedestrian walkways.
The bridge underwent load testing with twelve M48 Patton tanks, each weighing 42 tons, crossing simultaneously before its public opening.
