The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed road-bridge overly spans the valley of the River Tarn pretty near Millau in south France. Designed by architect Norman Foster, in collaboration among French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, through one pier's summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft)—slightly taller as opposed to the Eiffel Tower and simply 38 m (125 ft) shorter as opposed to the Empire State Building. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004 and opened to income two days later.
