The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and
Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed.
The tallest is 240 meters high and the overall height will be an impressive
336 meters (1118 Feet), making this the highest bridge in the world.
By comparison, the roadbed of the Arthur Ravenel bridge (linking Charleston to Mt. Pleasant) is a mere 250 feet above the Cooper River, and the uprights are a dinky 570 feet from the water surface to the top.
That said ... Sunday drive, anyone?
