Solon Karydakis pedestrian bridge, Footbridge in Psychiko, Athens, Greece.

The Solon Karydakis pedestrian bridge spans across Kifisias Avenue with a 94-meter-long walkway supported by steel cables and transparent glass railings.

The bridge opened in November 2011 after a collaboration between Prof. S.N. Pollalis Inc, Alexandros Samaras, and Faedon Karydakis during the design phase in 2010.

The Hellenic-American Education Foundation and Greek Ministry of Infrastructure developed this bridge to enhance urban connectivity between Filothei-Psychiko and Chalandri municipalities.

Four elevators facilitate access to the 40-meter-high crossing, enabling safe passage over the six-lane road while reducing street-level traffic congestion.

The bridge features an asymmetrical design where cable stays alternate from side to side, with the central section deliberately left without cables.
