Which Paris bridge, inaugurated for the 1900 Exposition, is named after Russian emperor Alexander III?

Pont Alexandre III is the Paris bridge inaugurated for the 1900 Exposition Universelle and named after Russian emperor Alexander III.

The bridge crosses the Seine between the Champs-Élysées and Les Invalides. France and Russia formalized their alliance in the 1890s, and the bridge commemorated that diplomatic relationship. Alexander III had died in 1894, before construction was completed.

Its Beaux-Arts design is known for elaborate sculptures, gilded ornament, and four monumental pylons topped by winged horses. The bridge is also notable for its low profile, which was intended to preserve views along the Seine.

It is sometimes confused with other ornate Paris crossings, especially the nearby Pont des Invalides, but the Alexander III name belongs specifically to this 1900 bridge.
