−	The project pushed engineering boundaries with the viaduct being built across one of the deepest valleys in France, taller than the Eiffel Tower. This was the bridge that was meant to be impossible to be build, bringing the challenges of; the tallest bridge piers in the world, a 36,000 tonne motorway and 7 steel pylons above every pier each weighing 700 tonnes. The local geology was also very testing with susceptibility to mud slides due to fluctuating river levels and plagued by deep caves.
