Re: The Millau Highway Bridge
Is this in France? It is quite beautiful this scenery of the valley and all the green vegitation very peaceful.
Looks like if you put windmills on each you could get lots of free power from this location.
Edit just found news article France opens world's tallest bridge Chirac praises 1.6-mile roadway as a 'prodigy of art'
The Millau bridge will enable motorists to take a drive through the sky — 891 feet above the Tarn River valley for 1.6-mile stretch through France’s Massif Central mountains.
The $523 million bridge was commissioned to open a new north-south link between Paris and the Mediterranean and is expected to relieve bottlenecks caused by trucks and tourists headed to the Riviera.
Toll fees for motorists will vary from $6.50 in winter and $8.62 in summer. Trucks will have to pay $32.24 year-round.
And we can not find the money for the CEV

France's soaring Millau bridge seen from orbit by Proba is a micro-satellite developed by ESA's General Support Technology Programme.
