Tekfen Engineering to

provide consultancy

services for the world’s

longest suspension

bridge

Once completed, the 1915* Çanakkale Bridge will be the world’s

longest suspension bridge. The distance of 2,023metres between the

two piers of the bridge will symbolise the 100 years since the 1923

founding of the Republic of Turkey. The bridge, whose total span

will be 3,860 metres, will be the first of its kind over the Çanakkale

Straits and the 5

th

suspension bridge in the Marmara Region. As well

as the construction of the bridge, the Tekfen-Parsons partnership

shall also undertake the implementation and supervision of a 100

kilometre 6-lane highway project that will include 31 viaducts, 5

tunnels, 30 interchange junctions and 143 overpass structures.

As per signed agreement in 2010 with the General Directorate

of Highways, Tekfen Engineering has also commenced preliminary

work on the Kınalı-Çanakkale and Çanakkale-Savaştepe Highways.

A 166-man team shall work on the Malkara-Çanakkale Highway, the

largest consultancy project Tekfen Engineering has undertaken to

date.

* Editor’s note:

The “1915” within the name of the bridge marks

the date of the historical battle fought in Çanakkale during the

War of Independence led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of

the Turkish Republic.

Tekfen Engineering has been awarded with the tender offered by the General Directorate for Highways for the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge and

related highway. The joint Tekfen Engineering-Parsons venture will provide consultancy and monitoring services to the 100 km highway and

the world’s longest suspension bridge at a cost of 164.3 million Turkish lira.
