Millau Viaduct:
the tallest bridge in the world!
The Millau viaduct is a road bridge that crosses the valley of the River
Tarn in Southern France. At its tallest point it is 343m tall, which makes it
19m taller than the Eiffel Tower and 37m shorter than the Empire State
Building. Interestingly, the Millau viaduct was built more than one hundred
years later than the Eiffel Tower, however they were both built by the same
company, the Eiffage Group.
Work began in October 2001 and the bridge was officially opened by the
French President, Jacques Chirac, on 14th December 2004. Two days later,
it was opened for traffic. The bridge is just under two and a half kilometres
long and every day between 10,000 and 25,000 cars cross the bridge.
The architects who were working on the bridge didn’t want drivers to feel
scared at this height. So, they designed the bridge in a way that when
driving, it’s difficult to look down.

1. Which is taller, the Millau viaduct or the Empire State Building?

2. What did the Eiffage Group build?

3. When were cars allowed to use the Millau viaduct?

A few weeks ago I was walking by the river with my friend, Jack, when suddenly the wind started blowing really
hard and black clouds gathered in the sky. Minutes later a storm broke out. We came across an old building and
decided to go inside for protection. We were looking around when, all of a sudden, we fell down into the basement.
We couldn’t believe it! The floor had collapsed. I wasn’t hurt badly but Jack’s leg was really hurting him. Worst of all,
there was no way we could move around with all the rubble. We shouted for help, but there was no answer. We were
terrified. After a few hours, it was raining even harder and, before long, water was coming down into the basement.
I then realised that the river had flooded! I panicked. I was exhausted but I continued shouting until finally I heard
a voice. Then I fainted. The next thing I knew, a rescue team was pulling me out of the rubble. We were very lucky
because as soon as we got out of there, the whole building collapsed.
