Le Viaduc de Millau

I have always been fascinated from bridges and once again I passed The Millau Viaduc which is having a worldwide record of beeing a tallest bridge in the world with one mast's summit at 343 meters and the lenght of the bridge is 2460 meters. The bridge carries the road over the Tarn river and saves quite some time without the need to drive the old road!

Construction of this bridge costed aprox 400 million euros and 14 December 2001 was the laying of the first stone, exactly 3 years later 14 December 2004 was the official inauguration.
