Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Imagine driving across a bridge near the North Pole, leaving Alaska at one end and arriving in Siberia at the other end; or visiting a city built within a pyramid in Tokyo Bay; or speeding from New York to London in just an hour through a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean. These are just some of the projects that come to life as builders and engineers design and construct the largest, most outrageous and awe-inspiring projects ever conceived. Jaw-dropping computer animation breathes life into such fantastic, yet possible creations. MILAU VIADUCT: In the remotest corner of France, near the tiny villages where farmers make Roquefort cheese, a technological miracle is unfolding. Here, where the Tarn River cuts a deep gorge, automobile and truck traffic between the south of France and Paris and the north have run into huge bottlenecks. Angry vacationers and long-haul truckers can count on traffic jams of up to two hours as they inch their way down, across and up the dangerous winding roads on the sides of the gorge.
Now, visionary designers and engineers are working to end that bottleneck and open up the region to the rest of Europe by building a bridge--the highest bridge in the world--to leap across the 1.3-mile wide gorge. The Millau Bridge, as it is called, will form the last connection in the major highway linking Spain and Italy with Paris.
