“Our bridge will not withstand your love “. With this slogan, the mayor of Paris had tried to warn the lovers in August. She had even asked them to replace the locks of love by selfies. But nothing happens, the lovebirds are still more to come seal their love on Paris bridges … So the authorities come for a radical solution. Two glass panels were installed on the Pont des Arts in place of fences, as an experiment. A third will be installed in a few days according to Le Parisien.
The weight of love padlocks indeed threaten security, according to the mayor. A panel had already fallen in June, he bore 500 pounds of metal. The total weight of the padlock was then calculated and amount to 54 tons, according to Le Parisien. The City of Paris had been removed in the wake of the bridges of the Arts and the Archbishopric 37 grids.
Bruno Julliard, the first deputy mayor of Paris, Friday tweeted a photo of the two glass panels already installed on the Pont des Arts:
After manifested on every continent, in Germany, Russia, China, and especially in Italy, the practice of love padlocks made by couples wanting to seal their union reached the Pont des Arts in 2008 It now extends to many other Parisian bridges such as the Archdiocese, gateways Simone de Beauvoir, Leopold Sedar Senghor, or that Canal Saint-Martin.
