The Millau Viaduct located in France is the World's tallest vehicular bridge with one mast's summit at 343 metres. Designed by civil engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is a large cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in Southern France.
Millau Viaduct is located in Millau, France, in the Département of Aveyron. Before the bridge was constructed, traffic had to descend into the Tarn River valley and pass along the route nationale N9 near the town of Millau, causing heavy congestion at the beginning and end of the July and August vacation season. The bridge now traverses the Tarn valley above its lowest point, linking the Causse du Larzac to the Causse Rouge, and is inside the perimeter of the Grands Causses regional natural park.
