Hyperventilatingly cool: Millau bridge
Hyperventilatingly cool new bridge in France. Millau Bridge (formally known as le Viaduc de Millau), is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world. Opened in December 2004, it stretches 1.6miles/2.6km long and hovers 885ft/270m above the Tarn valley in southern France. The steel-and-concrete bridge rests on 7 pillars, with the tallest one reaching 1,122ft/375m. Its architect, Sir Norman Foster, has said driving across it should feel like “flying a car”. Built in 3 years, it provides an alternative route from northern Europe to southern France and Spain. The guardian’s got more pics and you can check out the official site including the tourist office for things to do/see in the area.
