To say this bridge looks like Calatrava’s is maybe fair comment, but to contemptuously dismiss it as being a copy is just lazy, and somewhat ignorant. It’s cylindrical in form and has a lattice-style design, yes (as many designs have been before, and many will be again), and it’s red. Much as I like Calatrava’s bridge, you can hardly credit him with being the first person to have the idea of a cylindrical lattice, and his has in turn been compared to other cylindrical bridges before it, as indeed there are others that have used this basic idea again before him, for the simple fact that it works and it suits the purpose of the design .
I’m not sure personally how attractive I find the Roche-sur-Yon bridge, but if you just take the time to actually read the articles on it, and on Calatrava’s bridge, then it’s clear that the differences in thought process, influences and final design are considerable. Cheap comments such as those from Dustin and MRF above just pointless.

To those who commented on the similarities with Calatravas bridge:
The resemblance doesn’t go beyond the red colour.

Tschumi-HDA’s bridge is conceived to work as an optimised structure, therefore the differences in the voids and sections of the profiles. Much better as the integral approach that should always be architecture than the gesture of Calatrava’s…

Joan,
We are happy to see that you found this reference with Eiffel. In fact, we wanted to remix the idea of the existing footbridge in the station, built in a diagrid structure (Eifeel school) http://www.larochesuryon.maville.com/of-photos/2008/07/04/lr10_2045003_1_px_501__w_ouestfrance_.jpg
