Not only does the "Passerelle de deux Rives" link Strasbourg and Kehl. The "Footbridge of Two Banks" is a symbol of European unification, and the bridge across the Rhine is part of the official logo of the 2009 NATO summit meeting.
The eye-catching elements of the bridge are mirrored in the official logo of the NATO summit meeting. At the centre of the emblem stands the number 60, reminding us that this summit marks the 60th anniversary of the North Atlantic Alliance. From the number 60, the steel cables of the bridge radiate outwards and downwards cutting across the silhouettes of the two ramps of the bridge.
