Millau Bridge Southern France WOW

[who?1]

Long story but had to drive a car back from Spain at the weekend and as part of the journey I drove across the Millau Bridge in Southern France.
I forget all the stats but its the 12th tallest bridge in the world,280 ish feet high to the road deck and nearly two klicks long.
This is the bridge MrBean and also Jeremy Clarkson drove over.
Truly amazing piece of engineering and designed by a Brit too!!!
Check it out on You Tube to see for yourself.

Made the trip over the bridge last summer. Having worked on quite a few bridges back home this was on my list of things to see in Europe. Dragged the wife and kids on a 5 hour round trip just to walk up the hill and see it up close. Well worth it in my opinion.

Ditto aspro, last summer too. Amazing structure and piece of engineering.
