A wonder of the world, and a stunningly beautiful testament to the design team led by engineer Michel Virlogeux, and architect Norman Foster.
Fun fact: Each year it apparently saves around 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions from heavy goods vehicles alone, which according to Foster’s figures is the equivalent of 40,000 trees absorbing emissions over 40 years.
Designed by Norman Robert Foster, Baron Foster of Thames Bank, OM, RA, HonFREng (born 1 June 1935) is an English architect and designer.
2:22 I've driven on this bridge. It's almost impossible to accidentally fall from the it. Actually, when driving on the bridge you cannot see what's below because the parapets of the bridge are as high as walls. And these parapets themselves are separated from the driving lanes by an empty safety strip, then studs that would stop drifting vehicles. This equipment, first, stops or reduces the strength of side winds, and two, prevents drivers from trying to have a look down below and risk an accident.
If you want to have a look at the valley below the bridge you have a rest area on at least one of its side (maybe both sides but I don't remember) that offers an impressive view of both the landscape and the bridge.
For a good pronunciation :
Vee-ya-duc de me-yo 👍
I told my sister about it , so when she was in France she went and saw the bridge. ..said it was really cool
