The Amazing Millau Viaduct

The Millau Viaduct is a highest bridge in the world. It's a large cable-stayed long-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France.


'The highest of the bridge's seven concrete pillars stands at 1,125 feet, 62 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower. At almost 1.5 miles, it is longer than the Champs Elysees and slightly curved to afford drivers a dramatic view of the surrounding countryside and the ancient town of Millau with its medieval bell tower.


According to Wikipedia, the bridge’s construction broke three world records: The highest pylons in the world, the highest mast in the world and the highest road bridge deck in the world
