The bridge is two and a half kms in length.
It is slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris and only 38 meters (125 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building.
It is a cable-stayed road bridge designed by engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster.
It took only three years and two months from start of construction to opening and cost approximately € 400 million to complete.
