Few of my photos give you a good feel for how incredibly tall this bridge is.
This was taken from a bridge crossing the Tarn between Millau and Creissels. This is approximately 2.5 miles from the viaduct.
A little bit closer to the viaduct now.
Zoomed from the previous photo. You can get a feel for the height of the viaduct by comparing the size of the road and the vehicles on the road heading out toward the viaduct.
Center-bottom in the photo is a model of the cross-section of the bridge deck.
