Optimization of the Pasman island crossing

Former studies of the future link with the Pasman island, and three alternatives of the new preliminary design of this bridge, are presented. New solutions are analyzed through comparison with some significant sea crossings already realized in other European countries. The described preliminary designs differ according to the type of structure and the size of principal spans, but all of them coincide in the use of concrete as a dominant construction material. The authors point to the remaining open questions, namely to those relating to the required safe overhead clearance.
