Drivers in a region of Greece are continuing to drive over a buckling bridge damaged by a storm rather than taking a 19-mile detour. The Palaiopyrgos Bridge is located above the Pineios River and connects the villages of Palaiopyrgos and Alexandrini in Larissa, but it's been buckling for around three years because of the effects of Storm Daniel. The storm saw some Greek villages battered with 29 inches of rain in just one day, resulting in around $2.14 billion worth of damage and the loss of 17 people. The concrete span, which handles the weight of traffic, eroded as a result of the floods and has never been replaced. The bridge acts as an essential resource for farmers trying to reach their patches on the other side of the river. They say they risk death every day to cross the rickety bridge, but they feel like they have no choice. Politicians are now calling on the government to act amid fears the village could be flooded if the bridge continues to buckle.
