The Bir-Hakeim bridge (Pont de Bir-Hakeim) with, in the background, the Beaugrenelle district, Paris, France. Formerly called "Viaduct of Passy", the Bir-Hakeim bridge is a double deck bridge built between 1903 and 1905 by the French architects Louis Biette and Jean-Camille Formige, in association with the contractors Dayde and Pille. Supported by metal columns, the upper level is for metropolitan railway, the lower level for motorized traffic and pedestrians with a central walkway. The actual name of the bridge was given in 1949, as a tribute to General Koenig's June 1942 victory in Libya against German troops (Battle of Bir Hakeim, WWII). Paris, July 2005.
