Cable-stayed bridge

About This Attraction

Patras Greece

The Rio-Antirrio Bridge, also known as the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, is an impressive cable-stayed bridge in Greece. It connects the town of Rio on the Peloponnese peninsula with Antirrio on mainland Greece. As one of the worlds longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges, its total length measures approximately 2,880 meters. The structure was designed to withstand seismic activity and strong winds, making it a significant engineering achievement.

For those interested in visiting or crossing the bridge, its important to note that there are no specific Rio-Antirrio Bridge opening hours since it is open for vehicular traffic at all times. The bridge not only facilitates transportation but also offers pedestrians and cyclists stunning views of the surrounding Gulf of Corinth. Tolls are required for vehicles, so travelers should be prepared for this expense. Its strategic location plays a vital role in connecting western Greece with the rest of the country efficiently.
