Millau Bridge - Engineering Connections


This viaduct is monumental and extraordinary bridge. Record Breaking.
The lightning, The frying pan, The nuclear submarine,

Millau Viaduct-Megastructure


Three daunting challenges.
The tallest piers in the world. Put the deck on the piers. Build the pylons.
If you are on the top of the Effel Tower, you still look up the awesome viaduct.
