Description
This spectacular landmark suspension bridge has been designed to span the Metsovitikos River in the Pindos Mountains of Western Greece, an area of significant seismic activity. The rock anchored suspension bridge spans 550m (1800ft) across a steep sided valley between tunnel portals at each end of the bridge. The steel deck is supported on suspension cables spanning 800m (2640ft) to rock anchorages in the mountainside above the abutments.
