highest bridge in Europe

[DutchTBI]

Just a quick pic of the highest bridge in Europe ( the valley underneath is about a mile deep), near the city of Millau in France. I almost rearended the French guy in front of me who slowed down to 30 mph suddenly to admire the bridge.

thats an awesome pic. do the pointy things count in overall height? and do you know the name of the bridge?

 

[bunkleman21]

nevermind. I found it.
The bridge is 984 ft above the Tarn River Valley
And 1122 ft at the top of the tallest tower

Motorists are expected to pay 4.6 euros (£3.18; $5.60) for a trip across the bridge.

The pointy things are the pillars of the bridge that hangs on them by thick cables. The franch name is "viaduc de Millau"

The toll was €7.20 this year, some 10$
