With new ideas come new risks. The Archimedes Bridge project is an example of an innovative bridge design. Actually, the design makes it more of a submerged floating tunnel than a bridge. This European and Chinese-engineered bridge project is one example of new approaches to an old idea. It actually employs the ancient principles of Archimedes developed in the third century. It looks good on paper. So, do you think the Archimedes Bridge would provide a safer design than conventional bridges? What factors might make it too risky?
