Would you feel a little nervous about driving across this bridge? Rajesh kannoly There's something just not right Rajesh kannoly
about driving above the clouds.
The Millau Viaduct is part
of the new E11 expressway
connecting Paris and Barcelona
and features the highest bridge
piers ever constructed.
The tallest is 240 metres (787 feet) high
and the overall height is an impressive
336 metres (1102 feet), making this the
highest bridge in the world. It's taller
than the Eiffel Tower .

Interestingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight. Why?
It's because a straight road could
induce a floating sensation as
you drive across it.
So, a slight curve remedies that feeling.
The curve is 20km in range. Moreover,
the road has a light incline of 3%
to improve the visibility and
reassure the driver. An amazing engineering feat!
Slide the picture to the right/left
to see the whole bridge.
What a view - 787 feet high!
