World’s tallest bridge

by Robert Koehler on April 11, 2007

What’s the tallest bridge in the world? Apparently, it’s the Millau Viaduct [Wikipedia] near Millau, France. The stuff you learn from Naver.com. On a similar note, I was surprised to learn that the Great Pyramid of Giza [Wikipedia] was the world’s tallest structure from 2570 BC all the way up to 1300 AD, when it was surpassed by England’s Lincoln Cathedral [Wikipedia]. That’s an impressive run.

Yes, but none of them have rotating restaurants at the top! Go, Ryugong Hotel!

A glaring omission indeed. Shame on those other designs.

Geez, I always hated driving the bay bridge in Baltimore. Those others just put shivers down my spine.
