2. Millau Viaduct Bridge, France

Soaring 1,125 feet above the Tarn River valley, the Millau Viaduct Bridge is one of the boldest achievements in modern bridge design. Created by engineer Michel Virlogeux and architect Norman Foster, this record-breaking bridge is the tallest in the world, reaching 1,125 feet (343 meters) at its highest point. Its height and elegant lines are both awe-inspiring and intimidating, especially for those afraid of heights.
Despite its size, the bridge’s seven slender pillars and cable-stayed design give it a sense of lightness. On misty days, it appears to float above the clouds, with a total length of 8,071 feet (2,460 meters) adding to its grandeur. Crossing this bridge can be daunting for anyone with a fear of heights, especially when the view reveals the vast drop below. Built with advanced materials and techniques, the bridge features a steel deck that blends seamlessly with the landscape. Its strong safety measures ensure a secure journey for all vehicles, making it a vital part of the A75 autoroute from Paris to Barcelona.
