Megastructures - Impossible Bridges - Greece

Description

The Rion-Antirion Bridge in Greece - the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, with a continuously suspended deck of over 6,700 feet. The challenge of building a bridge across the Strait of Corinth, a place where severe weather is commonplace, has stumped people for more than a century. It is almost two miles shore-to-shore, the water is more than 200 feet deep, bedrock is found only deep below the surface, and the bridge must cross a seismic fault line.
