World＇s tallest bridge opens last Thursday in France
A bridge officially designated the tallest in the world was to be inaugurated in southern France.
Designed by British architect Norman Foster,the Millau motorway viaduct stretches for 2.46 kilometres(1.6 miles)between two plateaux in the Massif Central mountain range and when it opens 16th Dec. would remove one of the country＇s most notorious traffic bottlenecks. The viaduct is not only the tallest in the world -- outstripping the 282-metre towers of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan -- it is also the longest cable-stayed bridge. The Tatara Ohashi bridge in Japan is 1.48 kilometres long.
