There was a documentary about it on Discovery channel. It was good. They started the build from both ends, and met in the middle.

I saw that repeated on another channel. The views from a crane which a man was in were frightening even from seeing it on television.

Here is going over that bridge from the show Top Gear in a Pagani Zonda F, Ford GT, and a Ferrari F430 (the bridge is at the end of the piece)

o_zencheetah · 02-23-2007, 01:42 AM

That bridge is awesome, I'd love to walk along the side of that thing for sights

o_backstaber · 02-23-2007, 01:52 AM

I bet you can safely parachute from that bridge with no problem.

o_skanky butterpuss · 02-23-2007, 01:57 AM

i bet thats like the best place to jump from if youre trying to kill yourself

o_kenny · 02-23-2007, 02:13 AM

very long jump, might as well grab a magazine or something, or a portable toilet just incase you gotta poo during that long suicide

awesome thread!!

saw this on Discovery channel as well.

Amazing achievement! over 1000 feet in the air...

French engineers went mental on that project.

viva la france

o_loader · 02-23-2007, 09:02 AM

The chief engineer was a British man.

Conclusion Britain > *.

Have they nothing better to spend the money on ? I mean come on...

Impressive construction tho.

o_puppychow · 02-23-2007, 02:37 PM

i might have trouble driving over that

o_skull · 02-23-2007, 02:41 PM

Losing control on that bridge isn't something good.
I mean, they should make a test if someone wanted to drive there.
Just like the driver's license, but to a bridge.

o_puppychow · 02-23-2007, 02:46 PM

i wonder if they have ppl who will drive ur car over for u then u drop them off...they have that sometimes

o_bubbles · 02-23-2007, 02:52 PM

France obviously has a small penis.

o_puppychow · 02-23-2007, 03:00 PM

hahahahahahahaaha

o_heed · 02-23-2007, 06:46 PM

I just hope they put enough lanes for the traffic flow. It would suck if they had to widen it.

Oh I see...I thought it was all french because the documentary on Discovery channel was interpreting everything they were saying into English.
