Very cool, multi-use bridge.
The Pont de Bir-Hakeim, formerly the Pont de Passy (Bridge of Passy), is an arch bridge that crosses the Seine in Paris. The bridge, made of steel, was constructed between 1903 and 1905, in replacement of a footbridge that had been erected in 1878.
The bridge has two levels: one for motor vehicles and pedestrians, the other being a viaduct (the Viaduc de Passy) built above the first one, through which passes Line 6 of the Paris Métro.
906 Sculpture les Nautes (Boatmen iron sculpture) on the Pont de Bir-Hakeim South side of the bridge.
