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 meters high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters, making this the highest bridge in the world.

The toll is exactly 3.50 euros for a bike.
I was on this bridge at the end of June.

Jeepers, the old road looks like a hoot too! I wonder if it is still open.
