The Millau Viaduct
Would you feel a little nervous about
riding across this bridge?
There's something just not right
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!
