The Servia High Bridge (Greek: Υψηλή Γέφυρα Σερβίων, romanized: Ypsili Gefyra Servion) is one of the longest bridges in Greece, with a length of 1,372 m.[1] Construction began in 1972 along with the artificial lake and was completed in 1975.

Designed by Riccardo Morandi, was constructed from a joint venture Xekte SA–Skapaneus SA.

In January 2020, and after visual inspections conducted by professor Stergios Mitoulis of infrastructuResilience, it was found that ageing, environmental stressors and increase in the traffic loads on the bridge potentially led to safety issues.

[3] Professor Mitoulis noted following the inspection of the bridge that there were “vertical displacements on some of the bridge spans that are visible” and that “central simply supported segments of the deck are not well connected to the balanced cantilevers of the deck and hence there is a risk of falling.” Professor Mitoulis also explained that the simply supported spans need to be connected to the balanced cantilevers, whilst the movement of the latter seems to be the main issue that needs urgently addressing.
