MORE INFOAn exceptional structure from every point of view The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Tarn valley. Carrying the A75 motorway, it joins the Causse Rouge and the Causse du Larzac by crossing a gap 2,460 metres long and 270 metres deep at its highest point, in a panoramic setting of the highest quality and with winds likely to blow at more than 200 km/h. The Millau Viaduct rises majestically above the Tarn valley. Brought into service in December 2004, the structure receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year: tourists, architecture enthusiasts, journalists and motorists alike. From opening up the Massif Central to attracting visitors, there was only one giant step to take. Here's a look back at the advent of an extraordinary project.
