Assembly and welding of 923 of 59 steel decks, the heaviest of which was 42 tons, have been completed. 391 meters left for Europe and Asia to meet once again.

A NEW STAGE IN INSTALLATION OPERATIONS
- Bridge Steel Deck Officer reminded that one steel deck is placed on each side in an average of 9 days, and said, “A new stage has been started in the steel deck assembly process that started at the end of March. 00 steel decks were installed on the European and Asian sides, including the transition segment D21 on the European and Asian sides. With the replacement of the last steel deck, the distance between the two continents has decreased to 391 meters. Cranes previously called "Derrick Crane" were used in the assembly process of the steel deck. Now, a different crane called "Lifting Gantry" will be used. With this crane, we will see that all decks of the bridge will be placed on the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge in the coming months. " said.
NIGHT-DAY 1500 PERSON WORKING
