Rion–Antirion Bridge: Innovative designs and off-shore construction methods had to be implemented in order for this unique multi-span cable-stay bridge to become a reality. Note the shallow foundations on reinforced soil, the continuous and fully suspended deck for the full length of the bridge (2.252 m), the huge dissipation system, the stay cables equipped with special para-seismic devices, the expansion joints which can accommodate large displacements in all directions.
