The Bridge
The Rio-Antirrio bridge in Patra, Greece, formally named "Charilaos Trikoupis" bridge.
This bridge is widely considered to be an engineering masterpiece, owing to several solutions applied to span the difficult site. These difficulties include deep water, insecure materials for foundations, seismic activity, the probability of tsunamis, and the expansion of the Gulf of Corinth due to plate tectonics. (wikipedia)
