MillauViaduct.jpg‎ (34KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

The Millau Viaduct crossing the River Tarn in the south of France is the highest bridge in the world. Due for completion in 2005.

At its heighest, the 2.5 km road deck is 235 metres above the valley floor. The towers extend a further 90 metres above the road. At 325 metres (1066 ft) they rival some of the tallest towers in the world — if placed in New York, only the Empire State Building would be taller.

As of 2004 the towers and road deck have been completed.

This is a computer visualisation of the finished bridge.
