This bridge doesn't exist for entertainment, it because in this region of France there are many mountains, and building this bridge can make a ride in car way way way faster than riding aound the mountains, sorry for my english.

Answers you got were funny, but I guess you were waiting for a true answer. Well the hill on one side was higher than the hill on the other side so a lower viaduct prolonged by a tunnel under the highest hill was considered but there was a groundwater under that hill so it wasn't possible.
@@johndevera6986 No, wikipedia has a full article on the difference between the tallest bridge and the highest bridge. The bridge you're talking about is the highest bridge: there is no pillar or anything that reaches the bottom of the gorge, all the structure relies on the two extremeties. To explain it simply: the tallest bridge measure the distance from the uppermost part of a bridge to the lowermost exposed part of the bridge (=structural height), the highest bridge just measure distance between the bridge deck and the ground (=deck height), the technical challenge isn't really comparable imho. The Milau Bridge is the tallest bridge in the world, and the Duge Bridge in China the highest bridge in the world.

already there is a road ..and it takes more time to reach the other end....it increases the distance... and with many curves and hairpin bends. i dnt remember the exact figures.. but by road down the Valley would take hours...and the bridge would complete the journey within minutes..
+pen mightygun you have a point...but just think..the amount of fuel and money wasted for vehicles to take the long route....so everything we humans make is calculated. we find benefit and profit. Building such a costly bridge and such an engineering marvel wont happen if the Valley was small. building the bridge saves energy and money and sometime its okay to use cement for building useful buildings which in result would benefit us and d environment
Quite the bridge ... but what was the purpose of building it? It doesn't look like it would save more than 2 or 3 minutes of driving time, compared to just keeping the road across the valley floor.
This is a highway, and the bridge crosses a national park. It saves hours of driving, especially during holidays. Before that, cars had to use a sinuous "nationale" road that goes through Millau, (a type of way that does not meet highway requirements) and the town of Millau was a nightmarish bottleneck known throughout the country for its monstrous traffic jams in summer. The bridge is used by around 5 or 6 million vehicles per year, just imagine if that had to go through the streets of a 25 000 inhabitants rural town. The viaduct saved Millau from summer asphyxiation, massively improved driving time on the axis it serves and tremendously improved quality of life for the locals. It also brought quite a sizable amount of tourism to the area, with visitors enjoying Millau and its viaduct instead of fearing the dreadful traffic jams and fleeing the area the minute they escaped the traffic jam. Hotels, restaurants, shops, artisans and sports related attractions saw a real increase in attendance and business, freed from the traffic burden of non stopping vehicles. Even the farmers that had to give up some land are happy, it was a unanimous plus for everyone and that is extremely rare. Now every year there's a "reenactment" of the legendary traffic jams with people driving collection cars, historical costumes. They even act mock arguments between drivers, honking and shooting, with gendarmes whistling, etc. There are a few French villages and towns that do that in the summer as a celebration of a bygone era when there were no highways and all holidaymakers had to drive through towns and villages, using "nationales" roads. Most of them timed in the 50's and 60's, when a highway bypassing the town opened, offering complete highway access to coastal holiday destinations. Millau being, by far, the last of the "nationale" network bottleneck towns to be freed by a bypassing highway.
Well! Apparently, you have never driven through the town of Millau before the viaduct, particularly in the summer. I did, and with 2 children of 7 and 2. I thought "never again". For decades, the small town of Millau was a gridlock of road traffic. It took hours to cross Millau and the Tarn Valley, located between two plateaux; the red Causses plateau and the Larzac plateau. In summer, the situation was untenable for the people of Millau, with up to 50,000 cars and trucks per day, at all hours (noise pollution), Northern Europe going on vacation to Southern Europe or vice versa. The walls of houses in Millau were soiled by traffic pollution. For now almost 20 years, the viaduct has made it possible to streamline traffic and develop commercial and industrial activities in the Aveyron region (which used to be a very sparsely populated region) and thus eliminating the “black spot” of Millau, which has found peace again, the town has also become much cleaner, residents can sleep peacefully, and benefit from the tourist boom, which was not possible before given the limited number of parking lots in this little city. The bridge and its large parking lot have certainly generated a tourist boom. Everybody is happy!😂
my dear... think about this - why do we need bridges at all? You could travell to some other bridge and cross river there? But you will loose time- and burn gasoline right? So when we build bridges we think like this - thousand cars will pass this bridge and save 1000 hours of human life, and 7000 litres of gasoline - just in one day. In one year - we will save 365 000 hours of human lives and 2 555 000 000 litres of gasoline. In 20 years we will save economy of whole France just with one bridge. When considering this bridge we think like this- ok we can go down the valley, but then we wil have to climb up the hill over 300 m- and waste there 500 grams of gasoline for each car. Let us instead - build a wonderfull bridge, and we will save big money for our wonderfull country.
Cost-analysis? Ask the people living in Millau and around the valley. The traffic through Millau, in particular during the summer exodus of North/South European tourists, has for decades made their life a nightmare. A highway has been built avoiding the city and joining the Millau Viaduc.

I had never heard of this before, what a beautiful piece of engineering!

Dang 6 years ago
That's an insane piece of engineering
This is the most phenomenal bridge in the world. There are some doozies but to me this is the unmatched greatest ever conceived and built.
Off by a few millimetres ?? Start over

No bridge does.
@@Kazilikaya i said that because it looks like some in the comments didn't realised how important and useful this viaduc is.
nothing is wrong with your english :)
I'd rather take the longer drive. 🫣
the French engineers have done a remarkable job!!! what a bridge! and the method created for this occasion is just unthinkable! great great great !
And not to forget the admirable design of the British architect Norman Foster. This viaduc at night looks like a vessel in the sky.
No.....i Was a swiss observer all along this project, what you say nonsens.

THIS IS WONDERFUL... I LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS...
There IS a full 45 min documentary on this bridge, it's very interesting
Mad RESPECT to French Engineers and everyone who made it possible!🙌
Actually, the deck was totally engineered and assembly supervised by Belgian engineers.
Incredible engineering
I've seen the pictures. This is the first time I've seen the construction. This is the tallest bridge in the world.
That is fucking awesome.
Bridge is important for us
It is not only very tall but it is also a true work of art.
Good for base jumping
the title is impossible engineering, yet it's possible
Waiting for usa to make a bridge across lake michigan from Milwaukee to michigan lol
ancient aliens buid it!
damn aliens, they took our baguettes!
But why?
this is turning into the bridge channel
Superb 👍
Has anyone base jumped it yet?
A troll lives under that bridge.
French engineering is still at the forefront.😮

so it meets the hills

The river down there must of reach that high at one time.
What are you talking about
วางพิกัดไว้แล้ว
Not anymore. The tallest bridge is now in Jammu and Kashmir, India.

What if it's windy?
It's build in one of the most windy region of France so this has been taken into account during the project.

why didn't they just build a road on the ground?
I think the road prevents the current of the canals and disrupts the ecosystem
Bro building a road would be much more worse than using the bridge
Karim Khalifeh why?
