Viaduct?
Oh, never mind.

Still one of my all-time favorite documentaries. Construction of this viaduct recorded for Discovery Channel. Watch for it in Hi-Def.
800 feet above the ground – I think I’d throw up if I tried driving on that. But amazing nevertheless.
#3, ditto.

Base Jumping!

That’s nothing. Drive the Royal Gorge Bridge (1050 ft) in Colorado.
Many more pictures of this amazing bridge (and some construction photos) here:

The Royal Gorge Bridge.
Rasco –
Ditto on that bridge. (Though it’s quite a bit shorter than the Millau bridge in terms of length.)
#10, Comment by Frank IBC
Yes, about 10x shorter and carries only foot traffic. But I’ll bet both views are spectacular.
#6…. that’s what I was thinking. who will be the first to jump it? No video… didn’t happen!
#7… I was at the Royal Gorge in Colorado about 20 yrs ago with my family on vacation. Back then, you couldn’t drive on it anymore… can you now??
Yup, base jumping! Or bungee 🙂
It may be a marvel of engineering, but it’s one heck of an eyesore for the people who live in that valley… Ahhh, progress… schmogress…
