| Millau Viaduct |
The MillauViaduct in France, with its roadway 891 feet above the River Tarn, became the world's highest road suspension bridge when it opened in December 2004. The top of its highests tower reaches a height of 1,125 feet (343 meters), making it taller than the Eiffel Tower. The roadway is held in place by relatively thin cables that fan out from the tops of the bridge's seven towers. The architect of the Millau, Norman Foster, described his design as having "the delicacy of a butterfly."
