Concrete…
By spring 2002, the first piers of the Millau viaduct were rising skywards. At the same time, the anchorage points of the deck (the abutments) were appearing in the causses. A few weeks were all it took to carry out the earthworks. Twelve months after the work began, the pier "P2" went above 100 m. A year later, on 9 December 2003, the concrete work was completed on time! And what's more, the record for the tallest pier in the world was set at 245 m.
Steel…
Assembling the steel deck began in the summer of 2002. Two open-air sites were set up just behind the abutments. On 25 March 2003, a first section of deck (171 m) was driven out into open space: this rolling out operation was a success. 17 others followed suit, at an average rate of one rolling out every four weeks. On 28 May 2004, at 14:12 exactly, the junction - or "clavage" - of the north and south sections of the deck took place 270 m above the Tarn. Mission accomplished !
And then the rest…
On 29 May 2004, 24 hours after the junction, the installation of the pylons began, followed by the placing of 154 stays to support the deck. In three months, it was all completed. At the end of September 2004, the surface was laid on the deck. The road surface (paint, safety devices, etc.), installation of the safety systems, lighting, finishing touches to the tollgate: everything was ready on 16 December 2004 for the commercial running of the viaduct.
