Located in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island, the Skippers suspension bridge is 96 m long and 90 m high. The building of this bridge was done as early as 1866. It crossed the river only 6 meters above the water and was prone to damage from flooding.
It was replaced in 1871 but rebuilt at the same place. The speed limit is 15km/h. One vehicle on the bridge at any one time. Bridge limit is 2.500kg. The bridge is 91.4 meters (m) above the river, making it the highest suspension bridge in New Zealand. This single lane traffic bridge is 2.2m-wide and its span is 96.3m. The deck and stiffening truss were constructed in timber.

Rio–Antirrio bridge, Greece
Built in an area with high seismisity, the Rio–Antirrio bridge is an engineering marvel spanning the Gulf of Corinth, in Greece. It opened in August 2004. It’s truly an architectural and engineering marvel, which had to overcome an exceptional combination of adverse environmental conditions.
Due to the peculiar conditions of the straits, several unique engineering problems needed to be considered and overcome: deep water (65 m), insecure materials for foundations, withstand strong winds up to 180 km/hr, seismic activity, the probability of tsunamis, and tectonic movement.
