Fourth 3rd Bridge

Four-pointer 3. Bridge: 3 in Istanbul, where we have the opportunity to pass to the opening days. the first impressions from the bridge can be summarized in the 3 word; Acak comfort, trust, comfort.. President Erdoğan will open the new bridge.
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which will unite Asia and the European side for the third time, will be opened in August by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. 26 meter length, 1.408 billion pounds in the cost of mega-project preparations have come to the final stage. In the direction of Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway project, which was built with 4.5 lanes in both directions, we had the pleasure of comfortable travel while carrying out 4 kilometers test drive. Built between Garipçe and Poyrazköy, the 5 meter-long bridge has already become the world's longest suspension bridge.
The 95 kilometer of the 60 kilometer part of the Odayeri-Paşaköy section of the Northern Marmara Motorway will be the highway and the 35 kilometer will be the connection road. When the Northern Marmara Motorway is completed, the route starting from Gebze Şekerpınar Balcık will pass through the forested areas of Sultanbeyli by passing through a point near Akfırat Tepeören and Kurnaköy turnout.
After the highway passing through the contiguous areas of Samandıra and Alemdağ, Alemdağ Forest, Beykoz İshaklı, Paşamandıra, Riva and Poyrazköy will be connected to the third bridge.
After the third Bosphorus Bridge, the route to connect to the European side will pass through Uskumruköy and Demirciköy and enter the Belgrad Forests after Arıköy. In the future, it will extend from Tayakadın and Baklalı to Hadımköy.
4 lane highway, the north of the Lake Büyükçekmece, Çatalca will progress through the fields in İnceğiz'den Silivri Gazitepe third airport will be tangent by passing TEM Highway Kınalı exit.
Railway work in progress
The railway to be built in the middle of the bridge will be integrated with Marmaray and İstanbul Metro. However, the railway section of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which we conducted a test run before the landing, has not been completed yet. In the last stage of the project, the railway line was put into service and both the Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen Airport were built and the new 3. The airport is planned to be integrated. Another feature that distinguishes the bridge from the others is that it does not stretch at all along the route. From the outside, it is understood that the extension of the bridge is less than that of the other 2 bridges.
24 workers and engineers worked on 1460 hours basis in the project. 8 strip highway, 2 strip as the total length of the 10 striped bridge over the sea 1408 meters. The total length of the bridge is 2 thousand 164 meters. When the project is completed, Atatürk Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport and the new 3 will be built by rail system to be integrated with Marmaray and İstanbul Metro. The airport will also be connected.
Ecological transition
What attracted our most interest was the overpasses called ecological crossings. While the natural texture is preserved on the tunnels stretching along the length of the highway, it is thought that the living species will pass through these overpasses to the opposite parts of the highway. When we were standing in the middle of the bridge, we didn't feel the wind effect. The panels placed on the barriers cut off the Black Sea wind and increase safety.
Construction will end in 10 days
Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Ahmet Arslan, yesterday attended the NTV publication "Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge construction ends in 10 days," he said.
