This suspension bridge, with its main span of 3,300 ft., is expected to be opened in 1963. It will be the largest in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. A number of interesting improved techniques will be used in protecting it from corrosion and, in particular, the post‐tensioning cables which anchor the side towers to the base rock are expected to last over a century.
