Part 3: Millau Bridge
It is the world’s tallest bridge, at 343 m tall at its highest pillar, the Millau Viaduct in
Southern France is almost a third taller than any other bridge in the world. A freeway in the sky,
the bridge crosses the river Tarn in France and can save travelers almost an hour of travel between
France and the Mediterranean. It also removes the traffic congestion once faced in the town of
Millau. The episode documents the difficulties that the crew had to faced, and the challenging
processes that were used in its construction. The documentary contains a few words from the mayor of
Millau, Jacques Godfrain, the bridge architect, Norman Foster, and designer, Michel Virlogeux.
