World’s Highest Bridge
French drivers put their cars into real “high drive”
This “high drive” Millau bridge is located in southern France,
over the River Tarn in the Massif Central mountains
and is the highest bridge in the world. Its highest point is at 343m (1,125 ft),
with a vehicle height of 270m (885 ft) - taller than the Eiffel Tower!
It is a truly amazing piece of engineering, especially considering
the method used to span the distance between the piers.
The red towers you see in the photo were removed following completion of the bridge.
