Designed by OMA, Simone-Veil Bridge Opens to the Public in Bordeaux, France
The Simone Veil Bridge, designed by OMA / Rem Koolhaas and Chris van Duijn, has officially opened in Bordeaux, France. Serving as the sixth crossing over the River Garonne, the platform stretches 548 meters from either side, with a width of 44 meters. Connecting the municipalities of Floirac and Bègles and offering Bordeaux a new public space, it has been in the making for nearly a decade, and is the first bridge project in OMA’s portfolio.
