There was a competition for the commission to build the Lille Langebro bridge and it was awarded to WilkinsonEyre and Urban Agency in 2015.

[3] WilkinsonEyre and Urban Agency's design includes lighting which is hidden in the handrail: the effect is to make the bridge look like a twisted ribbon when it is lit up after dark.

[3] It crosses the inner harbour north of Langebro[6] and features an elegant curvature.

[7] According to the engineers at Buro Happold one of the challenges was to get the two horizontally rotating bridge components to come together and lock.

[8] The handrail is made of brushed stainless steel and there is a see-through mesh covering the supports.
