|
| CETE (Aix-en-Provence) establishes the first possible alignments for the A75 at Millau. |
| 1990
|
| Decision by the ministry to cross the Tarn valley by a 2500-meter long bridge. |
| 1993- 1994
|
| Seven architectural offices and eight engineering offices are consulted separately for proposals. |
| 1995- 1996
|
| Second design phase with five groups each associating an architecture and engineering office. |
| 1996
|
| The jury retains the solution proposed by Lord Norman Foster in association with Sogelerg. |
| 1998
|
| The decision is made to operate the Millau Viaduct under a concession agreement. |
| 2000
|
| Competition is launched for the concession/construction tender. |
| March 2001
|
| Eiffage is awarded the first prize of the competition and declared concessionaire. |
| May 2001
|
| The construction contract is signed. |
| August 2001
|
| The concession is awarded to Eiffage. |
| 16 October 2001
|
| Construction begins. |
| November 2002
|
| Pier P2 (to be the highest) reaches 100 meters in height. |
| 26 February 2003
|
| Launching of the deck commences. |
| 28 May 2003
|
| Pier P2 surpasses the height of 180 m and thus becomes the highest pier in the world, a record previously held by the Kochertal Viaduct. The record will be broken again when the highest pier reaches 245 meters. |
| 25 August 2003- 26 August 2003
|
| Launching phase L4. |
| November 2003
|
| Completion of piers. |
| 26 March 2004
|
| Launching phase L10 from the south end. The deck reaches Pier P3. |
| Night of 4 April 2004- 5 April 2004
|
| The metal deck is launched onto P2, the highest pier in the world. The launching operation is slowed down by wind and mist which perturb the laser guidance system. A this phase, 1 947 m of deck have been launched. |
| 20 April 2004
|
| End of launching of the deck from the north side. The end of the canitlever reaching out beyond pier P2 is at midspan over the Tarn. Two launch phases remain from the south side. |
| 28 May 2004
|
| The deck is completed. |
| End of July 2004
|
| Completion of the construction of the pylons. |
| November 2004
|
| Expected completion of the dismantling of the temporary piers. |
| 17 November 2004
|
| Load testing begins with a total load of 920 tons. |
| 14 December 2004
|
| Inauguration by President Jacques Chirac. |
| 16 December 2004, 09:00
|
| Opened to traffic. |

The pier dimensions are as follows:
- In the longitudinal direction: 16 to 17 meters
- In the lateral direction: variable from 10 meters at the pylon head to 27 at the foot of the highest pier.
The piers split into two separate shafts around 90 meters below deck level. Each shaft is vertically post-tensioned using 8 19T15S cables.
The shaft dimension in the longitudinal direction are also variable from 5 meters at the head to 8.60 meters where the join. |
| The total height of the pylons is 87 meters. Their shape is that of an inverted Y in the longitudinal direction. The height of the legs of the Y is 38 meters. |
| The deck is cable-stayed. The stays are arranged in two planes with 11 stays each in a sem-fan arrangement. Deck anchors are spaced at 12.51 meters. |
| Each pylon has a weight of 650 tons and a height of nearly 89 meters. The assembly is done behind the abutments. They are then transported horizontally on Kamag trucks to the final location where they are lifted and rotated into place using a temporary structure. |
