Millau Viaduct




Going back to today's lecture on railroads and the viewing of Paulinskill Viaduct as a part of nature and human achievement, I was wandering whenever today's engineering achievements could be presented as a part of nature. Here is an example of Millau Viaduct.

To give some background information: Millau Viaduct is located in Millau in France, it's hight measures 343m (or 1125') and it's lenght is 2460m (or 8071'). It was opened in 2004.

That's one scary ride... Beautiful though; Have you seen this in person?

Unfortunately I did not see it in person, however I have done one of my architecture projects on it.
