View from the ground

People look at the Millau bridge, the world's tallest traffic bridge, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2004, in Millau, France. Construction workers have nearly completed work on the roadway of the bridge, a viaduct that soars over a valley in southern France. The bridge, reaching about 270 meters (890 feet) at its highest point, was inaugurated by President Jacques Chirac on Dec. 14 and opened to traffic on Dec. 17.
