#12 Tallest Bridges In The World – Would You Dare Cross Them All?
Table of Contents
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge in Istanbul – 1,056 feet
This Turkish bridge opened to cars at the end of August of 2016. It’s not only the second tallest bridge, but also one of the widest suspension bridges in the world. There was a bit of controversy over the naming of the bridge due to some believing the bridge’s Sultan namesake to have been a harsh ruler. Yavuz, the nickname of the Sultan, can be translated to “stern,” so perhaps there’s some truth behind the complaints.
Millau Viaduct in Millau, France – 1,125 feet
The only French entry in the top twelve tallest bridges in the world is located in Millau and is aptly named the Millau Viaduct. About an hour’s drive from nearby Montpellier, this engineering marvel crosses over a valley with seven masts holding up the weight of the bridge. Being the tallest bridge places the Millau Viaduct even taller than the Eiffel Tower, leaving those who drive across it with beautiful sweeping views in all directions.
