As if any waterside city deserves, including San Diego, an uninspired and pedestrian creation like the San Diego-Coronado Bridge.

But where, exactly, is it?
We were in England last week and saw the news coverage of that amazing bridge. Not one story showed a MAP with the location of the bridge. 
Sure, it's over the Tarn, near Millau -- but if I don't have my atlas on hand, where is that? (Maybe it's just because I'm addicted to maps...but am I alone in that?)
Would love to drive across the bridge one day...
