"The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau, Occitan: lo Viaducte de Milhau) is an enormous cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France.
Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world, with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft) — slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 37 m (121 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building.
The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Montpellier. Construction cost was around €400 million.
It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004, inaugurated the day after and opened to traffic two days later.
The bridge won the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award." - Wikipedia
