Another Time, Another Bridge.

Millau - Rouergue.

Le viaduc de Millau est un pont à hauban qui enjambe la rivière Tarn. Il a été mis en service le 16 décembre 2004.
Son tablier surplombe la rivière de 343 mètres à son point le plus haut et porte l’autoroute A75.
C'est le pont routier avec l'ensemble pile-pylône le plus haut au monde.
Le viaduc enjambe une brèche de 2 460 mètres de longueur.
En cet emplacement les vents sont susceptibles de souffler à plus de 200 km/h.


The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge over the Tarn River. It was commissioned on December 16, 2004.
Its apron overlooks the river 343 meters at its highest point and carries the A75 motorway.
It is the highest pile-pylon assembly road bridge in the world.
The viaduct spans a gap 2,460 metres in length.
In this location the winds are likely to blow at more than 200 km/h.

So much better viewed in original.
