Line 42:
Other uses have been found for some viaducts. In Paris, France, a repurposed rail viaduct provides a garden promenade on top and workspace for artisans below. The garden promenade is called the [[Coulée verte René-Dumont]] while the workspaces in the arches below are the [[Viaduc des Arts]]. The project was inaugurated in 1993. Manhattan's [[High Line]], inaugurated in 2009, also uses an elevated train line as a linear [[urban park]].
In Indonesia viaducts are used for railways in [[Java]] and also for highways such as the [[Jakarta Inner Ring Road]]. In January 2019, the [[Alaskan Way Viaduct]] in Seattle was closed and replaced with a [[Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel|tunnel]] after several decades of use because it was seismically unsafe.<ref>{{
