Bridge of Sighs


Want to take a drive?
You won't believe your eyes!!! What engineering!!
There was a really good documentary on the construction of this on
Discovery or TLC and month or so ago. It's located in southern France, and
is the highest bridge in the world. It is a truly amazing piece of
engineering, especially considering the method used to span the distance between the piers. BTW the red towers you see in the photo were removed following completion of the bridge. It is 787 feet above the ground.
Uhh, I get the willies just looking at it. Driving across it would bring on a panic attack the size of Idaho.
