QueenDeScots says Wow very cool! Not practical so I can the point on their destruction but it still would’ve been cool if a bridge like that lasted till now
Knollsit says Didn’t the old London Bridge (I believe) look similar to this with all the housing atop it?
DutchMitchell says Thanks, I think the terms are quite similar in this case. It’s such an interesting project. I wonder how medieval Paris must have looked like. Are there any remaining parts?

This was demolished because of the huge urban renewal plans right?

This reminds me of the bridge in Volantis in a Game of Thrones.
