There are people who are afraid of heights, and therefore have a fear of flying. They would rather choose a journey by car, bus or train than by aeroplane. But what if the road is a little bit high? One is certain, those who want to travel from Paris to Spain have to get used to great height, because they have to travel across the Millau Viaduct, which is 270 metres (890 ft) high below the road deck. It is the tallest bridge at the world, with one mast’s summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft). The construction started in October 2001 and finished in December 2004.

This beautiful bridge was designed by British architect Norman Foster and French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux.

Probably , it was not easy to build this high beauty, just imagine the height of these piers range from 254 ft. (77.6 m) up, the second and third rising to approximately 837 ft. (255 m) and 725 ft. (22l m), respectively. And the tallest point of the bridge reaches a level about 4 percent higher than the Eiffel Tower.

About 127,000 cubic metres (166,000 cu yd) of concrete, 19,000 tonnes (21,000 short tons) of steel for the reinforced concrete and 5,000 tonnes (5,500 short tons) of pre-stressed steel for the cables and shrouds were used for this project. The lifetime of the bridge should be at least 120 years.
