THE BRIDGE  

    Would you be apprehensive about driving across this bridge?   

    The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting

    Paris and 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 is taller than the Eiffel Tower.      

                                       

    Intriguingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight. A straight road could induce

    a sensation of floating for drivers, which a slight curve remedies. The curve

    is 20km in range. Moreover, the road has a light incline of 3% to improve

    the visibility and reassure the driver.
