The Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, officially known as the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge or more commonly simply the Rio-Andirrio Bridge, is a road bridge spanning the Rio-Andirrio Strait, which forms the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth. It opened in 2004 and connects Andirrio on the north shore with Rio in the Peloponnese, eight kilometers east of Patras. It caused a stir because it was long considered impossible to build a bridge in an earthquake zone over a 2.5-kilometer-wide and 65-meter-deep strait without stable ground.
Using the bridge is subject to a toll; I don't know whether cyclists also have to pay.

The Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge (often also referred to as the Rio-Antirrio Bridge) is an impressive cable-stayed bridge. It spans the Gulf of Corinth and connects the Peloponnese peninsula near Rio with the Greek mainland near Antirrio.
The structure is considered a modern engineering masterpiece. It was opened in 2004, just in time for the Olympic Games in Athens. The construction is designed to withstand strong earthquakes and tectonic shifts.
Crossing by bicycle is prohibited, but using the ferry is free.
