The President of France, Jacques Chirac, unveiled the Millau bridge yesterday. It is the largest bridge in the world, and is quite a spectacular site! It stretches over 2,460 meters, and the tallest pillar is 336 meters, 36 meters higher then the Eiffel Tower. The building was constructed from a government contract with the Eiffage group. This contract allows Eiffage to charge a toll for motorists on the road for the next 75 years, instead of having the government pay them.
