    Default Tallest bridge in the world

    The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features < /I>
    the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters (787 feet) high and the
    overall height will be an impressive 336 meters (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge in the world.

    I'd need a parachute if I was to drive over that bridge, after seeing all these bridge accidents.

    That makes 2 of us.

    Thanks for the info and picture.

    That's one of the coolest things I have ever seen but if you ever see me on it I will have either a bungee tied to my azz or a small back pack.

    I love bridges, they intrigue me...it's crazy watching one being built.

    Supposedly you can go up on top of the north pylon of the golden gate bridge, found a couple pics of people up there and some from people on top looking out...trying to get more info on it!



    *edit*
    ah, found it! It's all about knowing someone that knows someone

    there is a bridge that is pretty tall not that far from us. think it is the worlds tallest or longest single arch bridge. Every year they have bridge day where people jump off of it . I stop there everytime I go to Pa. here is a link for more info.
