Back after lunch. I don't know about that, But this sure is impressive! Millau Viaduct in France, From the Bottom to the top above the road is at least almost as tall as the Empire State building and how the road deck was put in place, A sewing machine was the inspiration of all things and a few jacks. It was featured recently on Discovery channels HD Theater. There's a 7 Euro toll to cross this Viaduct for 75 years and the company that built the bridge gets to collect It as they put up all the money for the Viaduct.

Good job we get Earthquakes so infrequently in this part of the world that it isn't a worry. We don't get quakes big enough to cause widespread damage anyway. The Millau viaduct is an amazing feat of engineering and driving across it is breathtaking. It has knocked a good 45 minutes off the journey time through the valley too. |

Or getting in the way. For one of my developments I had to build an 800 foot long bridge. It took 12 years to get all of the approvals. The bridge cost about 1.5 million to build and plus nearly 1 million to get approved. |

And from what I've seen the way through the village has been around almost since Roman times. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
