(Patria) - The Millau Viaduct towers over the Tarn River valley in southern France and is considered the highest road bridge in the world.
It stretches for 2.5 kilometers and rises to 326 meters in parts, which is about twenty meters higher than the pride of Paris - the Eiffel Tower.
It was designed by British architect Norman Foster in collaboration with French engineer Michel Virlogeux, and built by the company Eiffage between 2001 and 2004, reports Punkufer.hr.
The construction cost 400 million euros, or 200,000 tons of concrete, 36,000 tons of steel, and many other materials.
The viaduct was built to relieve traffic and reduce congestion in this part of France, especially among travelers heading towards Spain.
Today, this viaduct is an integral part of the A75 (E11) motorway, also known as La Meridienne.
