| Abstract: |
At the start of a new millennium, the plan to permanently bridge the historic gap of the Gibraltar Strait has begun research design to create the most state of the art crossing the planet has never known. My Gibraltar Strait crossing proposal consist in a suspended bridge that connects the 15Km of the Straits with a “ultra–long” central span of 10Km, based on a new type of suspended structure. |
