CLOSE! That would be wine and up in Napa. They make good wine up there, not just auto parts

Would you like to drive over this?! post-424-1254514893.jpg The Millau Viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed.. The tallest is 240 metres (787 feet) high and the overall height is an impressive 336 metres (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge in the world. It's taller than the Eiffel Tower . Interestingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight. Why? It's because a straight road could induce a floating sensation as you drive across it.. So, a slight curve remedies that feeling. The curve is 20km in range. Moreover, the road has a light incline of 3% to improve the visibility and reassure the driver. An amazing engineering feat!

Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers

ever constructed.. The tallest is 240 metres

Interestingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight.

Why?

It's because a straight road could induce a

floating sensation as you drive across it.. So,

a slight curve remedies that feeling. The curve is

20km in range. Moreover, the road has a light

incline of 3% to improve the visibility and reassure

the driver. An amazing engineering feat!

That is fricken awesome
