I spent most of my career building bridges. None quite so innovative as that however. The company I worked a lot for, built the P.E.I. bridge in the 90's...among several others. I was supposed to be on the S.F./Oakland Bay bridge in 2004, but got hurt before I could go. That center span is supposed to be hella cool too, IF Ah-Nold doesn't force them into building some concrete plain-jane monstrosity...

Thats a cool bridge. I like bixby bridge a lot. The bridge itself isn't all that great but its location is awesome. They use it in commercials all the time for cars and stuff.

I have to pay $40 to cross it though 🙁

:Q I like that one. Why do you have to pay to cross it?

The bridge is owned by a private company. I live on an Island, and the bridge is one of the only methods to get off it (unless you fly). You can take a boat, but it's the same price and takes 3x as long

Me too.

I wonder what the course is, of both streams (or whatever they are: river/canal/tributary).

QFT

If they had just paved down one side, up the other, it would have been cheaper and they could have added more lanes. That would have decreased there traffic problem! plus saved a crapload of money

What traffic problem? There are almost no cars on that road.

 

[alphatarget1]

That is a viaduct, not a bridge.

Designed by French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux in collaboration with British architect Norman Foster, the bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn, saving the town of Millau from the massive congestion it used to suffer especially during holiday seasons.

Did you read the site?

Same thing that happens when you drive off any other bridge? DIAF?

yeah but worse. most bridges you can survive something like that. this one? no way in hell.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I'm sure the germans will blow it up as a strategic move the next time they take over france.

 

[thedarkwolf]

Just because its one near me

 

[Spacehead]

Is this the bridge in the OP?
