Euripus Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Chalkida, Greece.
The Euripus Bridge spans 395 meters across the Euripus Strait, connecting mainland Greece to the island of Euboea with a central opening of 215 meters.
The construction of this bridge in 1992 marked Greece's first cable-stayed road bridge, replacing previous crossing structures that dated back to 411 BCE.
The Euripus Strait beneath the bridge holds connections to ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who studied the strong tidal currents in these waters.
The bridge features two traffic lanes and pedestrian sidewalks, allowing vehicles to bypass Chalkida's city center when traveling between mainland Greece and Euboea.
The bridge deck measures only 45 centimeters in thickness, making it one of the thinnest bridge decks constructed for a structure of this scale.
