The Millau Viaduct is a link stayed scaffold that compasses the valley of the River Tarn close Millau in southern France.
Composed by the French structural specialist Michel Virlogeux and British designer Norman Foster, it is the tallest extension on the planet with one pole's summit at 343.0 meters (1,125 ft) over the base of the structure. It is the twelfth most astounding scaffold deck on the planet, being 270 meters (890 ft)between the street deck and the ground beneath.
Millau Viaduct is a piece of the A75-A71 auto course pivot from Paris to Beziers and Montpellier. Development expense was more or less €400 million. It was formally introduced on 14 December 2004, and opened to activity on 16 December. The scaffold has been reliably positioned as one of the extraordinary building accomplishments ever. The scaffold got the 2006 International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering Outstanding.

Two weeks after the laying of the first stone on 14 December 2001, the specialists began to burrow the profound shafts. There were 4 every arch; 15 m (49 ft) profound and 5 m (16 ft) in breadth, guaranteeing the steadiness of the arches. At the base of every arch, a tread of 3–5 m (10–16 ft) in thickness was introduced to strengthen the impact of the profound shafts. The 2,000 m3 (2,600 cu yd) of cement vital for the treads was spilled in the meantime.
In March 2002, the arches rose up out of the ground. The velocity of development then quickly expanded. Like clockwork, every arch expanded in stature by 4 m (13 ft). This execution was for the most part because of sliding covering. On account of an arrangement of shoe moorings and altered rails in the heart of the arches, another layer of cement could be poured like clockwork.
The scaffold deck was built ashore at the closures of the viaduct and moved longwise starting with one arch then onto the next, with eight provisional towers giving extra backing. The development was fulfilled by a machine controlled arrangement of sets of wedges under the deck; the upper and lower wedges of each one sets indicating in inverse headings. These were using pressurized water worked, and moved more than once in the accompanying succession: The lower wedge slides under the upper wedge, raising it to the roadway above and afterward driving the upper wedge still higher to lift the roadway. Both wedges push ahead together, propelling the roadway a short separation. The lower wedge withdraws from under the upper wedge, bringing down the roadway and permitting the upper wedge to drop far from the roadway; the lower wedge then moves back the distance to its beginning position. There is presently a direct separation between the two wedges equivalent to the separation forward the roadway has recently moved. The upper wedge moves retrogressive, putting it further once more along the roadway, neighboring the front tip of the lower wedge and prepared to rehash the cycle and development the roadway by an alternate addition. It worked at 600 mm every cycle which was approximately four minutes in
