1915 Çanakkale Bridge

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, also known as the Dardanelles Bridge , is a road suspension bridge in the Province of Çanakkale in northwestern Turkey. Situated just south of the towns of Lapseki and Gelibolu, the bridge spans the Dardanelles strait, about 10 km (6.2 mi) south of the Sea of Marmara.

The bridge is the centerpiece of a planned 321 km (199 mi) long Kınalı-Balıkesir Motorway, which will connect the O-3 and O-7 motorways in East Thrace to the O-5 motorway in Anatolia. With a main span of 2,023 m (6,637 ft), the bridge surpassed the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan by 32 m (105 ft) to become the longest suspension bridge in the world.

The bridge construction started 18 March 2017 and officially opened on 18 March 2022.
