This is a stunning bridge! It's one of the longest multi-spanned, cable-stayed bridges in the world, and was quite a feat of engineering to design and construct. The water depth here can reach up to 65m, the area is prone to seismic activity, the seabed is made mostly of loose sediment and to top it all off the Gulf of Corinth is expanding by 30mm every year...amazing that the bridge was even built! The Olympic Torch procession was the first to cross the bridge in 2004, and it's hard to imagine there ever not being a bridge here!

This bridge is ready and working... I have interesting memories connected with that place... Once we needed to go on the other side with our car, and there was a strike of greek ferries... We had to go like 500 km extra to get on the opposite side of the bay... If only this bridge would be there in that time...... )))
