The Millau Viaduc reaches a height of 343 meters over the river Tarn, which makes it even higher than the Eiffel Tower.
The viaduct is currently under construction. It will be the highest bridge in the world once it is opened in January 2005. The search for an aesthetic construction led the design architect to adopt the principle of a multi-stayed viaduct, consisting of slender soaring pillars and a very light deck, just touching the valley at only seven points.

"The world's highest bridge is in the Himalayans.
The highest bridge in the world can be found in the Ladakh valley between the Dras and Suru rivers in the Himalayan mountains. The valley lies at an altitude of about 5,602 m (18,379 ft) above sea level on the India side of Kashmir. Called the Baily Bridge, it is only 30 metres (98 ft) long, and was built by the Indian Army in August 1982.
If you were thinking of the bridge that stands highest over water, then the Royal Gorge Bridge over the Arkansas River in Colorado, US is your answer. Built in 1929 for $350,000, it spans 321 m (1,053 ft) above the water."

Millau Viaduct (Viaduc de Millau), a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Tarn River in southern France. Standing 1,118 feet high at its loftiest point, it is indeed the tallest bridge in the world.

The Royal Gorge Bridge towers 1,053 feet over the Arkansas River, in Colorado. I have been over it, and it is an amazing experience.
