Popis: This article investigates the challenges of maintaining the Machico Cable-Stayed Bridge in a marine environment, focusing on its implications for urban mobility. The primary problem addressed is the impact of harsh marine conditions on the structural integrity of the bridge, which poses significant challenges for ongoing maintenance and safety. The research highlights unique aspects such as the effects of saltwater exposure on materials and the interplay between infrastructure and urban transit dynamics. By emphasizing these critical issues, this study aims to provide insights into effective maintenance strategies and contribute to the broader discourse on urban mobility in coastal regions.
