The rivers winds around the foot of the cliff between Chooz and Petit Chooz. The delicate, light and refined arch evinces the modernity of a structure attentive to the landscape lines. The arches drop beneath the deck to the abutments and extend beyond them in a coherent movement from one bank to the other. There is transparency everywhere: over the water throughout the underside of the structure, which is highly visible from the banks of the Meuse, and in the air, between the deck and the arch. This transparency makes the delicacy of the elements of the steel structure and the lightness of the deck perfectly legible. The bridge speaks of the earth, the river and the sky.
