Millau Viaduct

THC wants to drive this.  The Millau Viaduct, opened in December 2004, provides a direct highway connection from central France via the Auvergne to the Mediterranean coast.  The last time THC was in this area was twenty years ago and the roads were narrow, slow and indirect.  The deck of this stunning bridge is 890 feet above the valley below and it is the tallest bridge in the world as measured from the top of its towers to the ground (1125 feet).  It was built in only three years and has become a popular tourist attraction.
