Nice Bridge

Anyone know where this picture was taken?

I think that's a bridge that was recently built in the south of France. It was on the Discovery Channel on that Extreme Engineering show.

Bill,

Thats a new suspension bridge being built in France. I saw an interesting show about it on Discovery Channel or a similar station. They actually built the road sections on land and then used huge hydraulic jacks to slide the road bed into position on the pre-built towers. Check out this web page:

I love that extreme engineering show. I saw the bridge episode as well. the way they used the hydraulic jacks to lift/slide/lower the bridge a couple inches at a time was pretty cool.

Thanks guys, this was posted on a local board, but I just knew some of our smarter members would know the answer. I will pass it on. I bet, btw, a trip around that bridge at 75 or so would be exciting.

I think that is the Chessapeke Bay Bridge/Tunnel? It looks a lot bigger when you are in an aircraft carrier floating out to sea? (Family Day, too cool!)
