The Millau Viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway
connecting Paris to Barcelona and features the highest
bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters
(787 feet) high and the overall height is an impressive
336 meters (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge
in the world. It's taller than the Eiffel Tower.
The Millau Viaduct is not straight. This is 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 accomplishment!
