    The retractable bridge (West) on the Corinth Canal, also known as the Posidonia sinking bridge, is located at the western end of the canal. It is one of two unique bridges in the world on the canal that are not folded up or turned when ships approach, but are completely sunk into the water.

    To allow ships to pass through, the middle section of the bridge is hydraulically lowered to the bottom of the canal. As soon as the ship has passed, it reappears.

    There is a retractable bridge at each end of the canal. The more famous and newer one is located in Isthmia; the other connects Corinth with Loutraki and is in poor condition. Cycling across it should be avoided, and when pushing a bicycle, care should be taken to prevent the thin tires from getting caught between the wooden planks.
