Foundations of the Rion-Antirion bridge, Gulf of Corinth, Greece. The bridge is situated in an area of high seismic activity, with the two ends of the bridge founded on different tectonic plates, resulting in a relative movement of almost 2cm per year. The principal supports stand in up to 65m of water, and the main pier foundations (cast in a dry dock on-site before being floated to an adjacent area of deep water for completion) measure 90m in diameter.
