Crossing the Rio-Antirrio bridge (Greece)
This is a video I wanted to shoot many years ago and finally made it on the 3rd of September 2017.
It's the crossing the Rio-Antirrio bridge (officially the Charilaos Trikoupis bridge), which at 2880 m. long is one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges and probably the longest of the fully suspended type.
The bridge connects Rio in Peloponnese with Antirrio in mainland Greece and in this video I'm driving the opposite way (from Antirrio to Rio)
It was inaugurated on 7 August 2004, a week before the opening of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and the Olympic torchbearers were the first to officially cross it.
Takes just 3-4 minutes to cross it and cuts significantly the time needed to cross the straits which was done before with ferries (still operational) and used to take (depending on the weather, the traffic etc) from about half an hour to more than an hour.

My updated version of Rio Antirrio bridge which is the symbol of Hellas in the 21st century is uploaded...
Its official name is Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge and it is one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges and longest of the fully suspended type. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese peninsula to Antirrio on mainland Greece by road. It opened in August 2004.
A state of the art architectural project to remind us that:
it is easy to destroy,
but it is hard to raise bridges!!!

This video is dedicated to all...
from Charilaos Trikoupis memory to all the politicians, engineers and the rest of the personell that continue to give life to that dream dated back 100+ years ago.
United we stand...

Rio Antirrio Bridge - Challenging Earthquakes
The Rio--Antirrio bridge (Greek: Γέφυρα Ρίου-Αντιρρίου), officially the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge after the statesman who first envisaged it, is the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese to Antirrio on mainland Greece by road.
The 2880 m long bridge dramatically improves access to and from the Peloponnese, which could previously be reached only by ferry or via the isthmus of Corinth in the east. Its width is 28 m - it has two vehicle lanes per direction, an emergency lane and a pedestrian walkway. Its five-span four-pylon cable-stayed portion of length 2252 m is the world's second longest cable-stayed deck; only the deck of the Millau Viaduct in southern France is longer at 2460 m. However, as the latter is also supported by bearings at the pylons apart from cable stays, the Rio-Antirrio bridge deck might be considered the longest cable-stayed suspended deck.
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.

We went through the bridge with our new motorbike. Gazing the blue lights you get the feeling that you are in a different planet ! it was amazing experience well do it again!
Περάσαμε την γέφυρα στην επιστροφή μας στην Πάτρα με το καινούργιο μας μηχανάκι!
Πραγματικά απολαύσαμε το υπέροχο μπλε χρώμα των προβολέων που την διακοσμούν αφήνοντας μας την αίσθηση ότι είμαστε σε έναν άλλο πλανήτη! Όμορφη εμπειρία θυμήθηκα την νεαρή μου ηλικία !
