Spanning 2,460 meters (8,070 feet) across the Tarn River Valley, the Millau Viaduct is an engineering marvel.
Designed by French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, the bridge was constructed by the French company Eiffage and completed in December 2004. It is supported by seven concrete pylons, with the tallest soaring to 245 meters (804 feet) high.

Built to alleviate traffic congestion in the town of Millau and provide a direct route from Paris to the Mediterranean coast, the Millau Viaduct has won numerous engineering and design awards, including the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award. With a total cost of approximately €394 million, it has also become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its height and design.
