People look at the Millau bridge, the world’s tallest traffic bridge, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2004, in Millau, France. Construction workers have nearly completed work on the roadway of the bridge, a viaduct that soars over a valley in southern France. The bridge, reaching about 270 meters (890 feet) at its highest point, will be inaugurated by President Jacques Chirac on Dec. 14 and opens to traffic on Dec. 17. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena)
