This beautiful pedestrian bridge, designed by Bernard Tschumi Architects and Hugh Dutton Associates, was recently opened in La Roche-sur-Yon, France.
Bridges over railway lines require lateral protection for both the pedestrians as well as the trains below, hence the cylindrical structure.

I kind of expect to hear a large transformer kick on, then see a focused beam of high energy light up the center of it, traveling from end to end, like some giant laser cannon or engine from a spaceship.
