Swing Bridge for Suez Canal

New Ideas

Available for over a year

The world’s largest swing bridge. The El Ferdan Bridge spans the Suez Canal in Egypt. When you can't build an incline bridge suitable for oil tankers, swing bridges have been a pivotal solution. This is a programme from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service Archive and was originally broadcast in 1997.
