What a bridge! (3 Pictures)
< DIV>Would you be apprehensive about driving across this bridge?There is something just not right about driving above the clouds.
The Millau Viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connectingParis and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers everconstructed. The tallest is 240 meters (787 feet) high and theoverall height is an impressive 336 meters (1102 feet), making thisthe highest bridge in the world. It is taller than the Eiffel Tower .Intriguingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight. A straight road could inducea sensation of floating for drivers, which a slight curve remedies. The curveis 20km in range. Moreover, the road has a light incline of 3% to improvethe visibility and reassure the driver.It is an amazing engineering feat!
Slide the picture to the right/left to see the whole bridge! What a view!

Ehh - give me a minute - now that I've got 3D CAD, I could do that in my sleep!

I've seen another shot of the viaduct. IIRC it is not straight but not nearly as curved as in the photo.
