This is the Viaduc de Millau, a bridge which completed the A75 autoroute from Clermont-Ferrand to Beziers in France. The bridge spans the 2.46 kilometer gap between one plateau to another over the River Tarn, which is the “geological generator of the landscape.” The bridge itself is not only functional, but eye-catching because of its massive size while retaining the graceful, minimalistic aesthetic it portrays. There is also an emphasis on this structure marring the landscape and environment as little as possible, which allows for the scenery and landscape around the bridge to still be seen. Completed in 2004, the bridge is made of sections 342 meters long. The piers range from 75 to 245 meters and the masts rise to 87 meters above the road deck, breaking the record for the highest pylons in the world and passing the Eiffel Tower as the tallest structure in France.
