Penobscot Narrows Bridge In Solar

The Penobscot Narrow bridge in Maine is a landscape of modern technology. It's unique construction immediately grabs your attention as you round the curve headed to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. It's taller than the Statue of Liberty and gives a spectacular 360-degree views of the Penobscot River and Bay, the Maine countryside and the western mountains. It's also the tallest public bridge observatory in the world.

The Penobscot Narrows Bridge uses a cradle system that carries the strands within the stays from bridge deck to bridge deck, as a continuous element, eliminating anchorages in the pylons. Each epoxy-coated steel strand is carried inside the cradle in a one-inch steel tube. Each strand acts independently, allowing for removal, inspection and replacement of individual strands. The cable-stay system was designed with a system that uses pressurized nitrogen gas to defend against corrosion. It's 2,120 feet, US 1-SR 3 over the Penobscot River, connecting Verona Island to Prospect, in the U.S. state of Maine. (Info from Wikipedia)
