Millau Viaduct
Some bridges around the world are truly master pieces of engineer art, they are a notable icon of the civil engineer’s art and of course they are a vital transportation routes. So, I would like to show these pictures, they are the example of amazing infrastructure that man can do. Millau Viaduct is located in Millau, south of France; the bridge crosses the River Tarn, this bridge it’s the longest with 1.6 miles cable-stayed bridge in the world and the tallest with 1,122 feet (342 meters). The construction took 3 years and it was aligned with the Global Positioning System (GPS). It was designed by an English architect named Norman Foster and a French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux.
