2. Millau Viaduct Bridge, France
Soaring 1,125 feet above the Tarn River valley, the Millau Viaduct is a pinnacle of modern engineering. Designed by Michel Virlogeux and Norman Foster, this cable-stayed giant is the world’s tallest bridge. Its seven slender towers make the span look almost weightless; on misty mornings it seems to hover above the clouds.
Advanced materials and safety systems keep travel smooth along its 8,071-foot length, forming a critical link on the A75 route between Paris and Barcelona.
