The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge, which spans the valley of the River Tarn, in Southern France. It is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world (only 38 m shorter than the Empire State Building). The bridge was opened for traffic in 2004 (ahead of schedule).
During construction the bridge broke three more records: highest pylons in the world, highest mast (87 m / 285 ft) and highest road bridge deck in the world.
