Leonardo Da Vinci Bridge, Norway

In the surroundings of Oslo, in the town Akershus is the strange bridge, which was named to honor Leonardo da Vinci. It is a unique architectural attraction and has not got the name of the outstanding Italian painter. The history of bridge building is very interesting. According to the historical data, the gifted painter still developed the bridge design for the Sultan Baiaet II in 1502. According to this design, the arch bridge should be built with the extension of 360 meters through the Bay Golden Horn. Such a bold project was considered unfulfillable in the Middle Ages.

Hundreds of years later, the modern painter Vebjorn Sand, who later became the founder of the fund Leonardo Bridge Project, found the records Leonardo da Vinci 1996. Thanks to his support and participation, the remarkable bridge over one of the busy urban motorways was built 500 years later. The arch bridge, the length of which is only 50 meters, is intended only for pedestrians and cyclists. The height of the bridge reaches 10 meters. The bridge stretches over the important road E-18 connecting Stockholm and Oslo. The strange 'historical' bridge also has a different symbolic title - 'the Golden Horn'. Next - Pont Gustave-Flaubert
