Holy crap you'd not get me to drive across it on the outside line. No sir..

GutterPunk · Feb 13, 2005, 03:07 PM

Gosh, what if a gust of wind came up ill pass just driving on that thing would scare the living crap out of me

drakesteakn · Feb 13, 2005, 03:57 PM

They have wind past 40mph all the time there in France. that bridge is crazy

Drakon · Feb 13, 2005, 04:15 PM

I'd take the scenic route underneath on those winding roads i think

very good shot, I would love to take a morning shot of that, with the full spectrum of the available light cutting through the dense cold air in the valley below

You wouldn't catch me on that when it's foggy out.

Nice bridge. I'm sure it's plenty safe with today's construction standards.

Where is it?

Forget it- I found it

The Millau bridge over the River Tarn in the Massif Central mountains is more than 300m (984ft) high - taller even than the country's Eiffel Tower

looks like that one.

there is a video here

I'll uhhh....take my chances with an airplane perhaps?

Danhill · Feb 16, 2005, 06:25 PM

Wow, thats insane, it's fantastic how people can build these things.

CDsDontBurn · Feb 16, 2005, 06:25 PM

well, although afraid of heights, it's not so much the fall that frieghtens me, is more the impact of landing that scares me. The bridge itself is pretty awsome looking

That is so cool. I find that very interesting and would love to see it in person.

Call me insane but I build bridges for a living and that is one amazing bridge that I would love to see.
