The Millau Bridge

This will be part of our return route through France. You may have seen it if you've been bored and flicked onto Mega-structures on the Discovery channel.

A few facts.....
  • 2.5 km long
  • 340m high
  • Longest span 240m
  • 270,000 tonnes
  • Took 3 years to build opening in 2004
On a bike the toll is €4, a car is €8 and a HGV is €30!

Last, but not least, it was designed by a British Architect Norman Foster.
