That's what I was thinking too. From the picture it appears they could have used a bridge half as long and high.

This way they won't need a drawbridge when an aircraft carrier comes down the creek.

To get to the other side. Building a normal bridge would have required tearing up more land. And a crash would not be so spectacular, whether it comes from a traffic accident or a terrorist attack. Very French.

Nice Platform.

The Frogs needed American Help to jump the valley.

The deck of what is going to be the world’s highest bridge is being launched over the Tarn valley, in the South of France, with hydraulic technology from Enerpac, a US multinational that specializes in Hydraulic System Integration for large-scale construction projects.
