Building Millau

launching the deckThere is an interesting dossier at Futura Sciences (fr) with photos about the construction of Millau bridge in Normandia. This is the highest cable-stayed, deck launched bridge of the world today, the works finished in 2004. The design is by French civil engineer Michel Virlogeux (not by architect Norman Foster as the press usually writes). You also can read an article global numbers in Structurae.de and some about the launching method with graphics at Enerpac Hydraulic Systems’ web page.Launching process
