| ResearchGate "The span of the Krk I arch (390 m) [1280'] exceeds...the largest concrete arch in the world previously built (Gladesville, Sydney) by 85 m....Arch segments of Krk I and Krk II (244 m) [800'] bridges were prefabricated, placed in position using cable-crane and then joined using “wet” joints." |
"The longer of the bridge's two arches is the third-longest concrete arch in the world and the longest outside of China, and among the longest arches of any construction." [dbpedia]
