Viaduc de Millau

The Viaduc de Millau is a stunning cable-stayed bridge in southern France, spanning the Tarn River valley. Designed by architect Norman Foster and engineer Michel Virlogeux, it connects the town of Millau to other regions, facilitating easier travel. The bridge is notable for its impressive height, with one pillar reaching 343 meters (about 1,125 feet), making it one of the tallest bridges in the world. Its elegant design combines functionality with aesthetics, blending into the landscape while supporting heavy traffic. Completed in 2004, the Viaduc de Millau is regarded as an engineering marvel and a symbol of modern infrastructure.
