Euripus Bridge, ~80 km north of Athens, is the first road cable-stayed bridge in Greece; it bridges the continental Greece with Euboea Island over Euripus channel (see Figure 1). It has a total length of ~695 m, of which 395 m constitute the central cable-stayed part and ~300 m the two approach viaducts. The approach viaducts, with 35.875 or 39.00 m spans, have been constructed by using prefabricated prestressed beams, pre-slabs and in situ poured deck slab. The cable-stayed central bridge has three spans 90 - 215 - 90 m, two pylons of height ~90 m and a prestressed deck slab of a uniform thickness 0.45 m; it is probably the thinnest worldwide deck (l/h = 215/0.45 ≈ 475). The cables consist of parallel galvanized strands, within a pipe HDPE, protected by cement grouting. The bridge has been constructed between 1987 and 1993 and has been given to traffic in June 1993.
