12/8/2004: Millau viaduct



This is a new construction in southern France. The Millau viaduct will connect a new A75 motorway from Paris to Barcelona above the River Tarn and 2.5 km of valley below.

I had not seen this before and it is a thing of beauty. It's been under construction for about four years. It has the tallest bridge piers ever, thus once opened next month it becomes the highest bridge in the world.

Amazingly, it was privately funded. It will be a toll road.
