	Millau Viaduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France.
		The viaduct is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, nearly twice as tall as the previous tallest road bridge in Europe, the Europabrücke in Austria.
		The viaduct was officially inaugurated by President Chirac on December 14, 2004 to open for traffic on December 16, several weeks ahead of the revised schedule.

	WSDOT - The Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seattle Seawall
		The viaductâs age and vulnerability was apparent by crumbling concrete, exposed rebar, cracking concrete, weakening column connections, and deteriorating railings.
		The bad news was the earthquake caused damage to the viaductâs joints and columns, further weakening the structure and revealing its severe vulnerability.
		The Nisqually earthquake highlighted the inevitable fact that the viaduct and seawall are nearing the end of their useful lives, and itâs time to replace them.

	Meldon Viaduct
		The first viaduct was erected in 1874 under the direction of W R Galbraith, Consulting Engineer to the London and South Western Railway, to carry the single track Bridestowe and Lidford (now Lydford) line of the Devon and Cornwall Railway across the West Okement river valley.
		The two viaducts were linked by extending deck members with bracing between the tops of the trestles, although the lower stages of the trestles were simply interlaced without connections above their common foundations.
		Although both sets of viaducts use the same Hughes patent piles in their legs, the cross bracing of the older trestles is slender wrought iron rod, compared with the more robust looking angle bracing of the later trestles.

	Bloor Street Viaduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bloor Street Viaduct, or simply the Viaduct, is the popular name of a bridge that spans the Don River Valley in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, crossing over (from east to west) the Don Valley Parkway, the Don River and Bayview Avenue Extension.
		Officially the bridge is the Don Valley Phase of the Prince Edward Viaduct system; the system also including the Rosedale Valley phase (a smaller bridge carrying Bloor Street over the Rosedale Ravine) and the Sherbourne Phase, an embankment built to extend Bloor Street East to the Rosedale Ravine from approximately Sherbourne Street.
		The construction of the bridge was used as a setting for the historical fiction of Michael Ondaatje's novel In the Skin of a Lion.

	Viaduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toronto's Bloor Street Viaduct bridges the Don valley; road traffic uses the upper deck, rail traffic uses the lower deck.
		A viaduct is a bridge that connects points of equal height in a landscape, usually by bridging a river valley or other eroded opening in an otherwise flat area.
		Often such valleys have roads descending either side (with a small bridge over the river, where necessary) that become inadequate for the traffic load, necessitating a viaduct for through traffic.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Benefits of closing viaduct studied
		If the state were to close the Alaskan Way Viaduct while it rebuilds or replaces the viaduct with a tunnel, it could save $300 million to $500 million and shorten construction by as much as 2-1/2 years.
		The study was prompted by a group of Seattle waterfront business owners, who complained that closing the viaduct during construction wasn't considered in the 168-page environmental-impact statement written for the five new viaduct options.
		Linda Mullen, DOT spokeswoman, said the consultants who wrote the environmental statement didn't look at closing down the viaduct "because the original guiding principle was to maintain traffic." It envisioned a partial viaduct closure, which would maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction on the viaduct or on a detour route.

	Road Traffic Technology - Millau Viaduct - France
		It uses the minimum amount of material, which made it less costly to construct: the deck, the masts rising above the road deck and the multi-span cables are all in steel.
		The seven piers of the Millau Viaduct are sunk in shafts of reinforced concrete in a pyramidal shape, being divided in an overturned V, and the shrouds are anchored and distributed in semi harps.
		An 18-lane toll station 6km north of the Millau Viaduct is housed under a structure made of a special concrete patented by the group Eiffage.

	A History of The Viaduct
		The Viaduct bridges the east branch of the Neponset River, on old maps called the Canton River, and is built on a wide curve crossing the valley.
		We read that the building of this bridge impeded the progress of Norwood for many years, as it was first intended to have the main line of the Boston and Providence, R. pass through South Dedham, now Norwood, but through the influence of Joseph Warren Revere, son of Paul the present site was chosen.
		A stone bearing the names of the railroad officials was originally set at the western end, but when the two tracks were put in, this stone was dumped off with others and found later broken into pieces; one was never located which bore the names of two directors.

	Meldon Viaduct
		The two viaducts were linked by extending the deck construction and bracing between the tops of the trestles, however the lower ends of the trestles were only interlaced.
		The viaduct was further strengthened between 1959 and 1960 by the inner trestle legs also being weighted and the up road trestle bracing being replaced with stronger section members.
		The down side of the viaduct had a concrete road laid upon it in 1970 and this was used for construction traffic whilst the nearby Meldon Reservoir was built.

		The viaduct will now be incorporated into a footpath and cycle way which gives access to Dartmoor, affording visitors spectacular views of this historic structure.

	Replace The Viaduct - At What Cost? - Licata Position Paper
		The first clause stated that the Alaskan Way Viaduct is "at serious risk of failure in a future seismic event." Certainly that may be true, as it is true that an earthquake of significant magnitude would cause damage to any of Seattle's structures.
		Councilmembers were told that there is a 1 in 20 chance that an earthquake could permanently close the viaduct if it occurred during the next 10 years, but it is unclear what is the risk that such an earthquake would occur in the next 10 years.
		Until additional and reliable funding sources are identified, I believe that rebuilding the viaduct rather than burying it is the primary candidate for achieving a cost-effective solution to replacing the viaduct.

		At the time of the November 12, 1999 earthquake, Viaduct 1 that crosses the Kaynashli valley (Fig.1) and the tunnel were in their final stage of the construction, while the Viaduct 2 was in the stage of foundation construction.
		Structural damage to the viaduct bridges was mainly occurred on the supper structure and the abutments.

		The viaduct and the Seattle seawall are at risk of failure from earthquakes (with unacceptable risk to lives as well as property) or irreversible loss of use from age and deterioration.
		The project will address the urgent need to replace both the 52-year old viaduct and 71-year old waterfront seawall by creating a two-for-one solution: the tunnel replaces the viaduct and along the central waterfront, the tunnel's west wall replaces the seawall.
		Together, they have decided on a plan to replace the viaduct and seawall, with advice from the project's Leadership Group and natural resource agencies.
