Millau Viaduct

in #bridge7 years ago

Millau Viaduct in France is the world's largest cableway bridge. It has a height of over 340 meters and is a relatively new construction, being put into use in 2004. The one who designed the bridge wanted to make a great, delicate project, like a butterfly, even if it was used 36000 Tons of steel.

The shortest and most impressive road will pass through the city of Millau - the place with the highest bridge in this world. He's French and he even tells Millau Viaduct. He won the top spot thanks to the 343 meters high (surpassing the Eiffel Tower). Inaugurated in 2004, the bridge is a major engineering juncture and a breakthrough of the heavy traffic problem for southern France. It was built to give drivers a feeling of floating. And that happens when the whole valley of Tarn River (in the valley of which the giant has risen) is covered by clouds. It's a real alpine. Access is 6.19 euros for cars and 3.70 euros for motorcycles (full season, that is summer).
