The Simone Veil Bridge, designed by OMA / Rem Koolhaas and Chris van Duijn, has opened. The project consists of a platform stretched across the River Garonne in Bordeaux that is 549 meters (1,800 feet) in length and 44 meters (144 feet) wide.

The bridge provides a new public space for the city. It abandons any interest in style, form, and structural expression in favor of a commitment to performance and an interest in future use by the people of Bordeaux.
