Tsakona Arch Bridge

The Tsakona Arch Bridge extends 490 meters across the valley, featuring a central span of 300 meters and a width of 27 meters for vehicle traffic.

The construction of this major infrastructure project began in 2008 and required eight years to complete, with an official inauguration on January 27, 2016.

This engineering structure stands as an example of Greek infrastructure advancement, connecting the regions of Tripolis and Kalamata through the A7 motorway network.

The bridge accommodates four traffic lanes of the A7 motorway and provides a direct route over the Tsakona Valley, reducing travel time between surrounding municipalities.

The construction cost increased from 94 million to 131.5 million euros due to the geological conditions and technical complexities encountered during the building process.
