Royal Gorge Bridge Andrea Nyquist, General Services Director P.O. Box 549, Canon City, Colorado 81215 (719) 275-7507 (888) 333-5597 toll free (719) 269-3501 fax World's highest suspension bridge spans the Arkansas River and Colorado's spectacular Royal Gorge at a height of 1,053 feet. Park also features an aerial tram and incline railway to bottom of gorge.

[edit] Contradiction

Millau and the Royal George bridge both claim that their deck height is larger than the other in both the Millau and the Royal Gorge Bridge articles. I note that this has been recified in the past but both need fixing and the 'List of tallest bridges' also needs fixing.

[edit] untitled

The comparison with the Millau-viaduct is not correct, since the Millau-viaduct is not a suspension bridge.

In addition I am quite sure that the Millau-Viaduct is not a whole Order of Magnitude higher than this bridge. It is not even close.

Also, this article contradicts the Millau-Viaduct page, which states that the Royal Gorge Bridge does, in fact, have the highest deck.

Erm, that's right. I fixed the article. At least the numbers are consistent =) --Gribeco 20:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
