Quillan Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Watched this tonight on English TV, fantastic. Watching them 'feed' out the two decks to meet with just 1cm error, well what can you say? All I thought was WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedders Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm really annoyed with myself that i missed the program. We have watched the construction progress over various holidays and last June drove over it on our return from the Pyrenees. The visitors centre is well worth a visit if anyone is in the area. Hoping for a program repeat for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotty0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 beddersWhich side of the bridge is the visitor centre? And what do you design/engineer?Dotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedders Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Dotty,Sorry not to answer earlier, but i didn't pick up your question until this lunchtime, and as i only take 30 mins (this is the UK), i didn't have time to reply. The visitors centre is on the North side of the bridge, almost underneath, just to the East. I believe it's sortie 45 off the A75. There is a huge car park, and the centre itself is full of models, photos and they run a film show i seem to remember.Regarding myself, i used to work in chemical/pharma plants, then when the dash for gas was heralded, i turned to gas fired power stations. Now the price of gas is getting prohibitive, and few if any are being built, i'm back up to my neck in chemicals again! Anything with pipes in it (big ones).I just wish my experience was transferable to France, but i fear my language would not be good enough, sadly. If the above hasn't sent you off to sleep, i suggest you see a doctor and quickly.Bedders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
