Greece had the great dream of a bridge crossing the 3 km Corinth Gulf
strait. Bridge built in such a way it could withstand extreme weather
conditions.

The Rion- Antirion bridge will be the longest cable stayed bridge in
the world with a continuous deck of 2,250 meters.

You bet!

And the good news is that since it's going to be 84 feet long in HO scale
you'll be able to live in the box!

Yeah, but it will cost about the same price as the prototype.

No, more. And you have to pay half up front in advance.
