Adolphe Bridge has become an unofficial national symbol of sorts, representing Luxembourg's independence, and has become one of Luxembourg City's main tourist attractions. The bridge was designed by Paul Séjourné, a Frenchman, and Paul Rodange, a Luxembourger, and was built between 1900 and 1903.

    perhaps worth mentioning that it was built as a railway bridge on the long-gone Luxembourg-Echternach metre gauge railway line, in addition used by municipal trams that likewise have disappeared long ago. A strengthening is due in coming years, making the bridge fit to again carry tracks, this time of a new light rail system.
