France opened up it's newest bridge today - the world's highest bridge, taller than the eiffel tower, scary as all get out.
I can't even wrap my brain around this picture, It looks like an artist's rendition.
it's 2.46 kilometres (1.6 miles) long, almost 300 metres (900 feet) tall (at points).
I could only go over that thing if I was high.
Get it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Whew.
Heh.
I dunno, I think I'd have to be out cold to go over that thing.
Why'd they do it? Looks like there's already a road that goes down to the valley floor.
Speed and fuel efficiency? Just speculating.
Are there rails on the side of the bridge, stopping your car from tumbling over if you move too far? I couldn't see any on the photo
Wonder who will be the first to jump off it.
That's a spectacular bridge...chances are, I will never have the opportunity cross it.
I didn't realize there was already a thread and I started another one. Have a few engineering links on it...

Holy Moses.
Dont forget to check out that picture in Osso's thread, too.
Man.
Littlek, the first photo your posted looks like a painting of a fantasy scene. Lord of the Rings, ethereal, otherworldly, with a destination to a fantastically beautiful magical realm.
It would scare me half to death to drive on that bridge, but I would dearly love to do it and feel that shivery fear---breathless from the beauty.
WOW!!
It might be better to walk it.
One nice accident should back that up nicely.
Yup.
I wonder if it's wide enough for an air ambulance to land on.
No, the idea is to just throw the injured off, tying 'em into the parachutes that are supplied at every bridgeupholderthingie, and the ambulances will wait at the bottom.
Stumble It!
