When you’re standing below it, or on top of it, you’ll find a way to convince yourself that it will certainly collapse on top of you. But, after all of these decades, you can be pretty confident that it won’t.
What are we talking about? The stupendous The Millau Viaduct. What is it you might ask? It’s a phenomenal multispan cable-stayed bridge completed in 2004 across the gorge valley of the Tarn near (west of) Millau in the Aveyron department of France.
Without a doubt, It’s a testament to human ingenuity and a masterpiece of modern engineering. The design and construction of such a massive structure in a challenging environment is a feat of human achievement.
The innovative design, with its slender pylons and graceful curves, minimizes visual impact on the surrounding landscape while maximizing efficiency. The viaduct itself is a breathtaking sight, especially when viewed from a distance. There are few like it. Why not hire a car, and explore this part of France? Or take the train.
