Adolphe Bridge, Double deck bridge in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Adolphe Bridge is a two-level structure spanning the Petrusse Valley with vehicle traffic on the upper deck. Below it runs a suspended pathway for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the valley below.
Construction began in 1900 when Grand Duke Adolphe laid the first stone using materials from local quarries. Its completion in 1903 made it an engineering achievement of global significance for that era.
The bridge links Luxembourg City's upper districts with the railway station area and has long shaped how residents move through the capital. It serves as a daily crossing point where people from different neighborhoods naturally meet.
You can access the bridge from both sides of the valley with clearly defined paths. The two-level design makes it simple to choose your route depending on whether you prefer walking with traffic or on the quieter suspended path.
When completed in 1903, this structure held the world record for the largest stone arch span, making it a noteworthy engineering feat of its time. Most visitors overlook this historical accomplishment when crossing today.
