During the placement of the upper tie beam of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge Towers,
based on the weight (155 tons) / height (318 m) parameters, the largest heavy lifting operation in the world has been carried out.
WITH ITS MAIN SPAN OF 2,023 m, IS THE LONGEST SUSPENDED BRIDGE IN THE WORLD
The middle span of 2,023 meters between the two steel towers of the Suspension Bridge
marks the 100th Anniversary of our Republic.

The 318-meter steel towers of the Suspension Bridge refer to 18 March 1915, the
date of the Çanakkale Victory, which is of great importance in terms of both Turkish and
