The Millau viaduct is a cable-supported suspension bridge architecture that runs through the valley of the River Tarn and connects Millau and Southern France. The Millau viaduct, designed by civil engineer and architect Norman Foster, holds the title of the world's highest vehicle crossing bridge. At 343 meters, it is slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and 37 meters shorter than the Empire State Building. The Millau viaduct at 225 km per hour. It has been built with the power to withstand the wind speed reaching the highest rate. The Millau viaduct, whose opening ceremony was held on 14 December 2004, was opened to vehicle traffic two days later. The usage period of The Millau viaduct is calculated as 120 years.

Troubles on the road between Paris and Spain brought to mind the idea of working on a bridge project. People were waiting in a 30km queue for 3 hours on busy days crossing the river. Vehicles could only pass over an old bridge. After ten years of work, the construction of The Millau viaduct was started.

The total cost of The Millau viaduct project was 394 million Euros. It is estimated that the price will be covered if Eiffage Group operates for 75 years. However, the immensely profitable Millau viaduct may be managed by the French government in 2044. In The Millau viaduct, 127,000 cubic meters of concrete and 5,000 tons of tensioned steel were used in steel and carrier cables and covers to reinforce 19,000 tons of concrete.
