Adolphe Bridge

The Adolphe Bridge spans 153 meters across the Petrusse Valley with a central stone arch measuring 84.65 meters in width and 42 meters in height.

The bridge construction started in 1900 with Grand Duke Adolphe laying the first stone, using materials from local quarries including Gilsdorf, Ernzen, and Dillingen.

The bridge connects Luxembourg City's upper town to the railway station district, serving as a fundamental link between different neighborhoods of the capital.

The structure accommodates vehicle traffic on the upper deck while featuring a suspended pathway underneath for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the valley.

At the time of its completion in 1903, this stone arch bridge held the record for the largest masonry arch span in the world.
