MILLAU VIADUCT,Creissels, France
The Norman Foster-designed Millau Viaduct is the tallest bridge in the world, reaching 1,125 feet at its highest point. On a foggy day, cars can be seen driving above the clouds across the Tarn Valley because the road itself sits 885 feet above the ground. The viaduct cost close to $600 million to construct and took almost 17 years to complete after the first sketches were drawn in 1987. The viaduct draws crowds from across the globe, and visitors can view the stunning display by canoeing beneath, hang gliding above, or stopping at one of the many viewing locations in the area.
