French Bridge Built High Over a Wind-Swept Valley 🛠️ How Did They Build That? | Smithsonian Channel

The stand-out feature of the Millau Viaduct bridge is its record-breaking height. But the way it was constructed, high over the Gorge Valley via a series of computer-controlled hydraulic platforms, also deserves acclaim.

Every Year we pass this bridge 4 times on our way to the south of France 🇫🇷 it’s one of a kind 🤩🤩

So glad an engineer had to be consulted to tell us that if one of the sections fell "it would cause really bad damage". Smh

you have to give it to the french.. they produce some of the best engineers on the planet..

The viaduct is beautiful, but by god so is Haley Loren Oakes

If you have a fear of heights imagine how terrifying riding in a car driving on a bridge that high! would be, or even worse being the one driving the car ! I think I have had bad dreams like that before !

I wonder how much the world will change within the life of that bridge. What feats of engineering will we see?

Another example of how the Earth is spherical.

Amazing engineering! Just a friendly bit of viewing advice. The narration is sooo very
slow this is best watched/listened to at a playback speed of 1.5.

Great video, the first girl, the redhead with the great name was of value when she spoke. The dark haired girl while very pretty was a waste of money and time. Someone's girlfriend.

I clicked thinking this was a Minecraft video.

You should learn from the Chinese how build bridges quickly and efficiently.

More and more, ( so called modernisation ), getting rid of dedicated workers, "Ugh"!
