The Harilaos Trikoupis Bridge links the Peloponnese (southern Greece) to the Greek mainland across the western end of the Gulf of Corinth to the north of the town of Patras. This link consists of a five span composite cable-stayed bridge and several approach spans. 

The bridge comprises three spans of 560 m (1837 ft.) each, two side spans of 286 m (938 ft.) each, with a total length of 2860 m (9383 ft.).  The tower height above sea level is approximately 163 m (535 ft.).

Buckland & Taylor's Scope of Work:

Buckland & Taylor was invited by the design-build consortium to be the Design Checker for what is now one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world. The scale of the bridge, sea depths of 65 m (213 ft.), the high seismicity of the area (including an active fault that the bridge crosses), and poor foundation conditions made the project highly challenging.

Several innovations were incorporated into the design, including having the continuous suspended spans connected to the towers with passive transverse damping devices which allows 1 m (3.3 ft.) of relative movement in any direction between adjacent towers. Construction was completed in 2004.
